Hey, Cataclysmgt I would get the Innovate wideband and an off road x or h pipe and it will plug right into the 02 bung, thats what I run and it is the best gauge on the car.

MustangGT0405 is running the whipple tune with a relocated IAT sensor. I would definately order the frpp tuner, it's free.

I have a stain on the passenger side of the intake manifold that looks like some intercooler coolant leaked, but my reservoir has never gone down. It might also be the gasket cinch changing color.

the injectors are the 38lb ones unless whipple has changed something.

The wideband comes with a stainles bung.
That takes fifteen minutes to have a muffler shop weld the bung in to the front of the drivers side H pipe?
I wouldn't change the exhaust just to install a sending unit.

Back to the problem at hand:
Your tuner is just verifying you have the right injectors. You dont need to be such a spaz. I think having a dyno tune would be your best bet.
Tuning by email = not so good.

Well, I got a local tuner looking at the data logs and tune, so maybe he can find something. I'll be getting a weld-boss installed next week in time for the dyno tune on the 15th. I will not buy a wideband, as they drift and die, especially in continuous use. What good is a reading when its not accurate?

the innovate WB is real easy to recalibrate, just open air w/ the sensor and press a button. hang in there, i'm sure you'll get everything straightend out soon.

Cat - what he probably means by 'verify the injectors' is to get them flow tested and matched. It is very common for some injectors to be 'off' dramatically. I remember one build in particular where the injectors were so ridiculously off (flow wise) it caused the car to run like crap until we figured out it was the injectors.

Even though some companies claim their injectors are flow tested, I always send a new set of injectors out to be flow tested and matched for about $150 and they have never been perfect not one time I have sent a new set out. The differences are usually slight but sometimes severe and ridiculous.

I'm assuming this is what he is talking about when he said to 'verify' them.

Good luck.

So, where do I send injectors out to get flow tested? I'm guessing that if this is what I am supposed to do I will miss my dyno session.......and my car for a month or two.
Like I said, I wish Justin would better explain what the problem may be, and what exactly he wants me to do about it. 4 line emails are not really helping me out.

*hangs head is dissapointment.........*
