and by the way Avos. I'm still running a 4.0 motor. it seems as though we are not in the same league in that regard. but i think i've got you covered.

Well if you look at the A/F numbers on Avos posted graphs you better hope he hasn't tuned it. Those charts are laeving a lot of power on the table due to A/F an I have a guess that may be his hole card

Either way should be fun. I have built a lot of one off cars and you can only make an educated guess when doing something one off.

Calling them today to see if they can do anything for the STR tune. Thanks for the help.

qikcat is very right regarding the a/f ratio, there are still some gems here and there.

I see the rich mixture as a small insurance due to the cooling effects of it, and as I have already so much power, I rather have a little bit more insurance for longevity, than trying to squeeze out the last drop of power with sharp and thus risky tune.
