Did you put a cover sheet on the TPS report?
Man, I always forget to do that!

ya i noticed the rpms gain alot slower, sound i couldnt really tell cause it was loud in the building it was being tuned at, but the rpms wwould start slow then accelerate quicker and quicker as it got higher, when it hit 4300 it seemed like it stopped gaining power and the rpms did peg out as quick as they were accelerating before 4300

I'll make sure you get a copy of the memo.

Do you happen to know what the MAF voltage was at 4300 RPM? Do you know what the airflow was through the MAF (in Kg/h)

When you got the C&L MAF, did your tuner just usethe C&Lcalibration tube or did heactually set theMAF transfer, high slope, low slope, offset, and breakpoint in your tune? I'm still wondering if your transfer got screwed up somehow.

If you're running rich, then spray away. Worst case scenario, it will just make you run a little leaner. No harm done there (if you are indeed runing rich.)

But first, be sure to ask your tuner about the cover sheet for the TPS. You could be screwed if you don't get that done!

man i wish u could talk to him, your kinda starting to sound like your speaking french, but i know he didnt touch my car except we changed the mass air meter, and even switched the entire mass air meter and a mass air tube off another mustang that was off the shop... he was telling me that some reason at 4300 rpms and im not sure about the voltage of the tps was goin off the charts and nothing he changed in his computer could fix it except twice when instead of peaking down it peaked up only twice, then he said the car is doing what it wants, like it wasnt listening to the computer... thats unfortunately all the help i personally can give, if you tell me what qustions and number the qustions 1 2 3 from most important to least ill call tony tomorrow so you might be able to help me more if i got more information and actually knew what i was talking about

Top questions in order of importance:

1) Cover sheet for the TPS report

2) Exact AF ratio when it spiked

3) Max MAF voltage

4) calibration tube used on the MAF (what color / number)

It's difficult to explain. If heknows what he's doing, he'll understand.
