not only did ur mach not tear me up before the LT's but your mach.... isnt even your mach anymore
can a brotha get an ouch?!

its cool GP, just trying to instill the thirst back in u. Id personally like to see you back in something that doesnt weigh 5klbs+
Oh, I'm thristy, allright.

Here's the new deal: if you ever need to be hauled somewhere (or picked up because your pumpkin went boom [&:]), you know who to call.

Or, if you ever need LTs installed while you're out partying, I'm your man!

ell oh effin ell

Isit made of sugar and going to dissolve when wet? Go drive that *****!!! Seriously though it would be cool to see an acceleration vid or something like that...
Spec's had some SERIOUSLY bad luck with wet road driving. [:@]
Making about half the power [&:][8D]
i dont know if ive shown everyone the thread from my old mustang after the 18wheeler got through with it. but yeah, i take bad weather driving pretty seriously now. and now im running drag radials so the foot doesnt hammer down over 40mph unless the roads are dry and clean

So hows the car running Spec?

its not too bad. Ive been scanning it like mad with HP. some knock up top, but i believe thats because im a little lean, should straighten out once i fix the tune which i may do some today. the sun is out and its beautiful

idle and low rpm AFR is about 12:1, which is too low, id like idle to be in the 14s. mid rpm range is all 14s-15s which is a little high, but this isnt WOT so its not a big deal, just need to bring it downa few 10ths afr. WOT high rpm is 12.8/13.1 most of the time which isnt bad. my car is set to command 12.2 since i like it a little more rich when running nitrous but for an NA car 12.8 is perfect. the only thin i really need to do is fix that idle because it likes to die on me in parking lots.there are a few tricks i can look up for doing this. hopefully in the next month or so ill have that vid of me racing my roomie's bike.

Are you sure you dont need to back thetiming offa littlebit up top? Maybe taking a little timing out will cure your knock, and improve your idle as well.....

there is no knock down low, and only a couple degrees up top. extra fuel will usually reduce knock. i may have to take a degree out once i finish the afr tuning, but you dont do spark tuning first since changes in afr will affect knock levels. if you do both you may pull timing when you dont need to.

Really? I always set my timing first than messed with A/F ratio- once you get it tuned youve gotta post a few more vids
