since you put in the a9p ans theres no cel and seems to be running better
i'd say something must be screwy w/ that other computer

There is no performance gain for you in the X3Z, and you will have to change the MAF as well. I don't see your injector size either, and the X3Z expects 24lb injectors. The X3Z has a little less timing and fuel compared to the A9* puters.

Did you use an A9L for the MAF swap?

do not put a cobra computer in it, it will run like sh*t then, those computers pull out timing
as far as having it tested sorry man i just dont know who or where would be able to do that
