Why not use a wideband 02 sensor? Isn't that a more accurate tool to tune your car?
The guage comes with a Bosch wideband O2 sensor.

Geaoge where does the sensor mount?
Nice work on your cold air.

You know George, you remind me of a guy I know. He has an old Dodge Demon that he runs at the track. His car has "I don't know, roughly 1200 HP." These are his words. He built the entire motor himself. He sometimes goes into details on parts, brackets, tensioners, etc. and how he had to make them to work with his motor. He has all the old race stories to go with it all. He's a very good driver and is very ingenius when it comes to motors, parts, and fabrication. I respect him more than anyone else in the mechanical world. He too makes me think of the old school, true drag racer. Hats off to you!

Hey George. Great write-up. I loved watching this come together. Can't wait to see the results. Good luck to you.

Very clever! Nice idea, how much was the whole setup?

Hmmmm...258/263 is not as good as I would have expected with your Diablo and CAI.

What were the tuning conditions (temp & humidity)?

Did they set up and run the car properly for an auto? or did they just stick in drive or even worse "3" and let it fly?

You should be making more than what appears to be bone stock numbers.

Bah, then again your 1/4 mile time is great, that makes up for it

He ran it in 3rd gear.
That's your problem! That's NOT a 1:1 ratio.

Needs to run it graduallly up through the powerband in Drive with the overdrive OFF. They are completely forgetting that this is a 5 speed auto. In the previous auto's 3rd gear was the 1:1 ratio, now it's fourth.

If they do what I just said above you'll see your numbers go up into the high 260's-low 270's.

Auto's are running constantly around 250-255 SAE bone stock when setup on the dyno correctly.

I called Mike Dez Racing today for a dyno tune. It will happen a week from tomorrow at 9am. He's one of the best in the business. His car came in 1st place in the street class at the NMCA race in Bradenton FL. This guy will squeeze every bit of HP available
I hope you get a free dyno out of this. Push for a tune too.
