Tyler, the rules state no passengers on the road course this year. They are allowing them in the autocross.

Car fired up and ran ok.. brough up stuff to temp and no leaks.

Running VERY lean though.. my AF meter is showing pegged at 16:1 .. but the exhaust smells really rich (lots of hydrocarbons)

Trailering to dyno tune next Wednesday.. was gonna drive it there :(

New wheels look bad freakin ass.. I'm sick as a dog right now so no pics or weights but I will get them next week.

Lean smells Fat. Not sure why I know that.... but it does.

Unburned fuel is oxygen rich and can trick the O2 into thinking it's pig fat so it corrects and goes lean. Or something along that order. I had that issue with mine once. We fixxxxxxeedddeded it.

Take it easy for a day or two Steve....you certainly don't need to get worse!

It was funny.. it got progressively worse.. throttle response slowed.. kept getting leaner.. RPM dropping.. computer was all flumixed.. nothing a good tune can't fix.

Steve, sorry to hear you can't talk. Is the wife happy about that? :D

My problem - if I remember right - was the tuner (me) thought the idle was fat - so took fuel out - which then made the A/F not burn well - which caused a lean miss - which read fat cause of the unburned fuel - which caused the tuner (me) to take out more fuel -- and well -- you get the picture.

The only computer I should get near is one that just does email.

I'm in the same boat brother. Starting feeling sick 2 days ago. Now it's kicking my butt.:thmbsdwn:
Can't wait to see Penny with the new wheels.:thumbsup:
