Default A/F Ratio

How can i find out what mine is. With a stock fuel at WOT it'll act like you didnt even put the pedal to the floor but if i take fuel out with the tuner itll run good so i wanna see what my a/f is because i think its running so rich that it cant burn off the gas that enters the engine and it sorta floods out

I plan to but i have to wait for a month or two. Im just trying to get it running pretty good for the time being. It has a big *** c&l MAF on it right now and im not sure if the previous owner had it tuned for it and i dont have a stocker to through on it.

Does anyone know if the v6 maf is the same size as the gts?

Buy a wide band O2 system--you shouldn't be messing with fuel settings without one...

The V6 MAF is not the same as the OEM GT unit. It uses the same sensor however the housing is 70mm ID--the GT housing is 80mm, the transfer functions are entirely different...

Just get a lightning maf and put that in. It will be easier for you to do the transfer on your tuner, if you have one, because the lightning maf is such a popular upgrade that most tuners already have the capability to switch between the stock maf and the lightning one in it.
