Air/Fuel Ratio Setting

[Todd00GT1]

I have a question about setting the air/fuel ratio at a "safe" setting until I can get my car dyno tuned. I'm sure I can get it adjusted better than where it is now by a little bit and still be playing it safe until I get the car dyno'd. I have a 00 GT 5 spd w/43K on it w/the following bolt on mods: Densecharger CAI, BBK 75mm TB, C&L plenum, Steeda pulleys, Steeda Timing adj.(14*), MAC O/R H-pipe, MAC exhaust, along with the Diablosport Predator tune. I always run Exxon/Amoco 93 octane or Ultra 94 w/Turbo 108 octane boost every tank. Any ideas where I could set the air/fuel ratio to get better performance and still be playing it safe until I get the car dyno'd at the end of this summer? Thanks for your help

low 12's is a good area for NA cars... but might i ask as to why you want to wait untill the END of summer to dyno tune it? why not do it now and enjoy the hp?

Originally had it planned for May. Just had a $320 repair bill for my beater car 3 weeks ago. My washing machine at the house just broke, need to get that fixed and recently w/the rain here in PA I have discovered a water leak thru the backdoor/glass in my house. Also i'll be taking a trip to Tx in July... Sooooo, I probably won't be able to afford it until these other things get taken care of. If it's not one thing, it's another. Just some bum luck lately

Another question is w/the Tuner is I can adjust it from

Well, I f'd up that last replay. Anyways, I can adjust the air/fuel ratio at WOT from 2k-4k and from 4k-6k. My stupid question is... Do I want to lean it out?

I personally don't think you have anything on the car which would need a dyno tune. Especially with a handheld tuner. Your timing of 14* with 93 octane and octane booster is conservative, and your other mods wouldn't affect your A/F.

Ok, good deal. I wasn't sure if there was anywhere I could adjust it to make it a little better or not. Thanks!
