I will when all the rain passes since i have my own video camera now.... it was starting to get dry and I built about 5 lbs up before spinning like mad a couple times tonight and all i gotta say is holy ****.....lol. and its def. rich and needs to go to a dyno imo, which i was going to do to get fine tuned anyways, but we'll see when its all fine tuned and dry out with my dr's on . as of now im wondering how I lived w/out a blower. this **** is so fast, even 3rd I started at like 2 grand and as soon as boost hit about 3500 tires just started spinnin like crazy. boost comes on so hard...alright i gotta stop talkin about it im gettin wood

If you don't have a wide-band air/fuel meter, you might as well throw what you have away cuz it isn't gonna help. It won't read accurate cuz you're 02 sensor is trying to fix the mixture all the time now that you have forced induction. So don't go by that. I have just an autometer a/f in my car and it goes crazy all the time, i never pay any attention to it. The boost problem is possibly cuz you're not getting enough load on the charger. Driving down the road, tach near redline, and ****tin-n-gittin is when you're gonna make the boost that you're wanting. My car builds 9lbs of boost, but will only go about 4 or so when it's sitting still.

I do have a wideband!

dont worry im not using just the stock O2 to pick up some readings from a gauge thats throwing out flashing lights. haha im using the innovate lm1 wideband. works excellent.

and I took her out today and it is boosting at around 8 which is what it should when i take it up to 5500. and holy **** it is fast. im so happy with it. btw today has been the first all dry day out that ive really had to go see what its got.

Im workin on it, Im workin on it, its finals week so its not getting driven hardly at all and I dont have time to get it to a dyno. but like i said, ive been measuring a/f with my wideband and its not bad at all so it shouldnt be blowing up n e time soon. just dunno if there is a dyno anywhere near home in iowa or not, so i might hafta stay here an extra day to go to the dyno we'll see.

With the MPH tune and his wideband telling him the a/f is fine he is ok running around on it.

The only reason he is going to get on a dyno is to get a number for his horsepower/TQ and check the a/f ratio. The MPH kit comes with a great tune.

I thought that MPH was going to start sending out the other seal for the MAF kits? I had one hell of a time with mine, and ended up saying screw it and calling them. They shipped me a powerpipe seal, and that goes over the other seal by the maf. It works great, and I thought thats what they were gonna start doing for all the kits.

I wish they did it for the kit, i should drop them a line and remind them to do that! woulda saved some trouble. I ordered a silcone boost pipe coupler from our performance shop that is 4" to 3" reduction so it fits on both the maf and the pipe. and ya like i said it seems to be a tad rich even, so theres prolly a little more power to be had from a little tweaking.its always good to be on the safe side of things tho. and yes i want some numbers!!!! ill post them as soon as i get em
