[QUOTE=DrX]Let me know when you get some dyno numbers on your setup. Mine were 319Rwhp/349Rwtq. Still think something isn't quite right though. Just noticed that my fuel pressure gradually drops from 60 to 56 during a WOT run.



I think that drop is acceptable. It should blip slightly on shifts, too.

DrX, have you hooked up the wide band so you can log with it?

Yes I have. Also ordered EFILive.

Idles around 15 AFR. Steady at 14.8 while cruising. Enriches under boost. Was holding at 11.8 at WOT initially and when I dynoed it(could smell the cats when I backed off the throttle) but last time I looked at it under WOT I think it only went down to around 12.2.

Edit: I take that back. Held at 11.75 at WOT today. Maybe the 12.2 I saw before was an anomoly.

AT WOT boost kicks in at 6 psi and gradually climbs to just over 7.5 by the time I back off at around 85mph(not sure what the tach said).

Does the pillar with the guage pods have the grained like leather look that the stock pillars have or is it smooth plastic?

Used an injector wire for RPM. Hooked up TP and boost sensors, Haven't calibrated them yet though.
