Radix Install - more help
#1
Finished the install and got a tune for it from Charlie Wheatley. It is not running well. When the RPMs go up on WOT, it has no power. I can hear the radix whinning and it seems to be dragging. The check engine light is on and the codes are 0172, 0175 and 1518. 0172 and 0175 together say bank 1 and 2 are running rich and suggest checking the MAF, I rewired the tan and black wires from the MAF to the IAT in the front of the charger to no avail. 1518 says it may be a failed VICS solenoid or it is stuck open. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I Had 1 screwed up radix tune and it sounds similar to what your describing. It had a WOT A/F of 10.0 and it kinda sounded like it gurgled instead of making power. I sent it off to Zippy and he corrected it for me. Wheatly wouldn't do a mail order radix tune (Back Then, April) I asked zippy for some specific things in my tune and he hit every one right on, He's tuned allot of F/I trucks, and really has a good understanding of whats needed. Just my .02, (and it's paid off 10 fold)

Thank you Charlie. You are great to work with. To make it clear, Charlie already offered to help, I was just trying to figure things out on my own. He stands behind his product. Thanks again.

I Know Charlie is a great tuner, The guy I bought my Radix from recomended him, But back then He wouldn't do a supercharger tune through the mail, Which I totally respect, Theres allot to go wrong beyond his control. He was my first choice.
