took my first hard corner since the strut bar went in... onramp I take regularly, and I'm not sure if its in my head or not, but turn in felt better, and I got less understeer. from a strut bar? idk, more than I was expecting.

Got my gauges installed in a single din triple gauge pod. Moved the radio down and installed the gauges above it (boost/vac, wideband, oil pressure).
The good news? Everything works great! The not so good news? The wideband says I'm running 14/1 at idle, and about 13/1 at 3000 rpms. I think thats too lean, right?

Oh, vac is holding at 22 lbs at idle; oil pressure at 44-45 lbs.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

is that under load? lean AFRs at idle aren't a big deal...

Under load? I just watched it as I ran up to about 3,000 to 3,200 rpms in second gear and it dropped from the low 14's to the low 13's. Then came to a stop to idle and it went back to holding steady at 14.4.

Also, do you have any idea what optimum oil pressure should be?

Thanks!

 

[Ricktalife]

got my vacuum hose via UPS today, gonna go get my vacuum block tomorrow.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

perfect AFRs for complete combustion is 14.7. its only under load you want more fuel in there so as to maintain cooler combustion and not blow things up, the AFRs when you're on it are the important ones.

 

[Laser Blue]

So it sounds like I'm in no immediate danger. Thanks!

 

[Ricktalife]

got my vacuum block. time to install all that s*** so i can put in the SS AFC!
