    Comp Cams

    If he's a mechanic, he'll be fine. Just go slowly on the degreeing part and it'll all be fine. The stage 1 Comp cam is probably the best option for a stock head, stock PI intake street car. It's going to make power until about 6200-6300 rpm, which is about where the stock PI intake and...

    What To Do?

    Enjoy the car as is while saving money for something nicer. That's what I'm doing. It's been a good ride (still is; went 11.50s this past weekend), but it's time to move on to better / faster things. I.e. 03 Cobra or Coyote 5.0s

    Comp Cams

    Holy smokes, Squeak! Haven't seen you around these parts in ages! Good to see you around. As to the OP, the cams absolutely need to be degreed in. I used to be of the opinion that it wasn't that important, but after I put my cams in and they were off by SIX degrees, I realized just how...

    A/f Wideband

    My Innovate LC1 and sensor have held up for almost 4 years now with zero issues. It doesn't have much in the way of the fancy features that some of the other brands have, but it works just fine. The calibration procedure is easy and straightforward, and it was easy to get it to talk to my SCT...

    Finally Going To The Strip.

    My comment was regarding what the Lightning MAF sensors are capable of. They will make well over 500 rwhp. So if you really are pegging it, then you're making over 500 rwhp, and you're stock bottom end won't likely last long. I don't believe that you're making that kind of power, which is why...

    Finally Going To The Strip.

    The MAF is nowhere near maxed out, or if it really is, you should plan on getting a new motor soon. The Lightning MAFs are good to over 500 rwhp. P1000 is the system not ready code. I get it pretty much every time I pull codes from the car. It will not alter the computer or tune in any way...

    Finally Going To The Strip.

    Good luck to the OP. You might find yourself going back soon! I thought you had it about nailed down last time you posted about it? What kind of issues did you have and how did it run?

    Accuracy Of Sct Livewire

    Happens every time you go WOT. And WOT is really the only time you should be concerned about what the AFR is, considering the O2's keep it around stoich at part throttle (barring severe mechanical issues). And still, there's no way the computer can accurately estimate the AFR outside of the...

    Accuracy Of Sct Livewire

    I still don't understand how it could "estimate" the actual AFR. There are so many things that can affect that (tip in/tip out, coasting fuel shut off, O2 sensor bias, transient fuel, etc.). The only thing I can figure is that it might be reading the commanded AFR, which is what it's supposed...

    Accuracy Of Sct Livewire

    Unless I'm mistaken, it's a hardware thing. Up until recently, the O2 sensors were narrowbands, not widebands. So even the PCM does not know what the AFR is outside of a very narrow range (+/- a couple tenths from stoich), and even then, it really only knows if it is lean or rich, not an exact...

    Accuracy Of Sct Livewire

    How are you getting a reading through the OBDII? The stock O2 sensors are narrowbands, not widebands. The only way I know of to get a AFR is with an external wideband, which can be wired up via a firewire cable to feed into the SCT X3 and therefore be monitored by Livewire. That's the way I...

    Very New And Would Like All The Help And Input I Can Get

    The jump from 500 rwhp to 600 rwhp is a significant one, so be prepared to spend a lot more money. At 600, you're likely going to need aftermarket cams and/or heads, plus all the supporting valvetrain mods. You're REALLY got to have a good transmission and converter/clutch to hold that power...

    Very New And Would Like All The Help And Input I Can Get

    That's fair enough. If you want a very stout 2-valve, it's actually not all that difficult to do. Here's how I would do it: -Stock crank and block -2012 Boss 302 rods (or 03/04 Cobra rods if you can find them cheap) -03/04 Cobra pistons, or a cheap aftermarket set -King OE replacement rod and...

    Very New And Would Like All The Help And Input I Can Get

    Honestly, if you're looking to spend $25k and make 500 rwhp, I'd simply opt for an 03/04 Terminator, throw the usual bolt-ons on, and be done with it. Can you make the same power with a Coyote swap? Sure. Can you make the same power with the built bottom end and blower-combo 2-valve? Sure...

    Plug Gap

    How do you know it's going rich at WOT? Are you looking at it on a wideband? Contrary to most folks' intuition, spark blowout actually reads lean on a wideband. That's because the wideband is an oxygen sensor, and not a fuel sensor. Fuel not burning due to the spark blowout results in oxygen...

    Predictions On My Numbers?

    I agree. But it should drop it a little bit. And depending on his geographical location and weather, it could be hot enough that it's not seeing all of it either. Could also explain the slightly lower than expected numbers. My car will lose 2ish pounds of boost, and every bit of 50 rwhp, in...

    Blower Gauges

    A wideband is absolutely mandatory. Fuel pressure is also very important. Boost is nice, but you don't actually have to have it. The Aeroforce Interceptor gauges posted above are very nice. If you get the wideband sensor and controller, you can hook them up through the Aeroforce gauge. If...

    First Numbers For The Boostang!

    +1. I can't think of any reason a tuner would want the power over speed instead of power vs. rpm. Every change in the tune you'd ever make, you do it at a certain rpm. So unless you want to back-convert to the rpm knowing your gearing numbers, the speed is pretty much useless as far as I'm...

    First Numbers For The Boostang!

    Oh. I was just basing my assumption on this quote from earlier in the thread. Regardless, you shouldn't have problems pushing 13+ pounds on a 6 rib. Did your tuner datalog the boost readings?
