Trying to decide if I'm going to get two more factory wheels and try the widening again (with a different company), or going with Bogarts. Is there another company that makes custom wheels besides Bogart?

I think Holeshot also makes lug wheels.

Racestar, Intro would also have wide wheels

Yep. Already logged some driving and had Justin tune off them. I'll log all my runs this Friday (provided FF isn't rained out) and start learning how to read the logs.

Having the EFILive V2 is pretty cool. I just don't have a lot of time to devote to learning all this.

The Intros have some possibilities, but at their price point I'd probably just go with Bogarts.

Truck (Race) Stars would be perfect but I just don't like 6-spoke wheels.

That said, I've hit enough chuck holes recently that I'll probably get another set of factory wheels and try a different vendor to do the widening.

What fuel are you running right now and what kind of AFRs are you seeing?

E85. Watching the gauge, it bounces around 13.5-15 (estimate). I'll see what the log shows after Friday night.

I still need to run out the E85 and run 91+ and get that tuned also.

I'm not positive but E85 shouldn't be 13s... it should be more in the 9.0 area I think...

No chance to log this weekend. When I do, I'll make sure to capture AFR & Lambda.

Most widebands are on the gasoline scale. Therefore, stoich should be 14.6 on any fuel.

If the scale is calibrated for e85, stoich should be 9.7
