If I can hit a 9.99 I'm calling it quits

Ended up buying the Speedhut afr gauge for my ngk wideband since they are having a sale now. Begrudgingly, I'm going to be putting up the dual pod a pillar

Well, not exactly. You were about 2 notches higher, well over 1k hp and basically at the limit of the 4 bolt block.

Yea, dollars required is pretty exponential with how fast you want to go. A $50 part at 500hp is like a $200 part at 1000hp and a $800 part at 1200hp.

To be utterly reliable at 5000 lbs on the track, yes you probably do.

To make over 1000 on a dyno in a go kart is another story

You will like the speedhut gauge. I an AEM wideband and display it via a speedhut gauge. I trigger my warning lights via a hobbs switch.
