LOL i was just saying, the scan was as basic as it gets. No MAF data and being that he is force induction, I'd love to see the MAF data.
Then, not having a a wideband to reference tailpipe AFR, the NBO2's are the next best thing...which SHOULDN'T be used as a tuning tool in WOT or PE, BUT as reference. And as a reference, from my experience...they are rich. Real rich.
I was just making a joke...real rich...FI...CATs aren't gonna be happy. They will eventually die.

Ahhh **** man then what the hell ya waiting for I wish I were close I would come over with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black and a SWAZAW, get the wife a little tipsy on a fufu drink and all would be good and your truck would be loud and faster as well. OR come on down to MD and we can do it in my garage.

Where you live at GIBBS?
scott there is a HUGE, I mean HUGE learning gap for tuning. Especially when you are like me and don't have the knowledge base for engine mechanics like most of these guys. Everybody says read read read, but application is the best. As Whippled 496 will tell ya, you learn the most by scanning. Even if it is a worthless scan. Log and log some more. Use the markers and when you floor it and it bogs, click the marker (the letter M the keyboard) and then refer back to it when you are SITTING still and can look at that bog specifically on the scanner. It will come to ya. Engine mechanics plays a huge role, so not only reading reading and reading, but searching and asking will make a difference as well. That's what we are all here for. When we have time. LOL
No go out in that heated garage and take a crash course in wideband installation!
