Rick you will love tha gauge!!!! humm and of course the procharger!!!! Can't wait to get mine.

Rode some around tonight and as expected with the Predator performance tune ....AFR runs a little rich on low RPM/ speed ....Right on the money at WOT.....
Congrats on the procharger........and post pics!!!!

looking forward to vid. was it difficult installing headers and how long did it take ya.
Pain in the @$$!!! Pay someone to do it.

Very cramped space to work in..... EVERY Plastic piece in the engine compartment "WILL" scrape your arms.... and pray that FORD didn't snap a header studs torxhead..... That was fun!!!!.... I had to drop the tranny crossplate so that could cut and weld for the EUGO sensor , the replacement bolts for the studs are crap!! .....and on and on and on.......

But it is worth it!!!

Yea im gunna need a low down on what to look for on the Air/fuel gauge. I have never had one before LOL. I won't know what Im looking at LOL I know to the right is rich and to the left is lean and in between is I think about were you wanna be but im not sure what to look for during WOT compared to not WOT.

When Im just daily driving and calmly accelerating what should it read? Opposed to when Im nailing it?

Nah I took it to a shop instead of doing it myself. I couldn't get it set up right (people & tool wise).... it would have took longer to do it myself. Plus the shop has more experience with them on a daily basis. They mentioned something(can't remember what specifically) that they do to the bypass valve cause the way procharger has it done is kinda crapy. Wouldn't be able to do it if I installed it. That and I want to see long term results with having a mechanic install it and dyno it compared to people who have installed them there selves with canned tunes and or dyno tunes and had problems. What happended to Flapjack's surge valve that caused his procharger to leak? The shop I go to already know's there is something wrong with the valve and that they'll need to work with it. Just little differences like that I just want to see long term. If I have the same problems down the road wven with my mechanics installing it then..... hell I guess i should have just installed it my self. We'll see how it turns out. prolly won't be done till this tuesday or wedsday.
