What are you using for tuning? Do you have a hand held wideband O2 meter? |
Thanks, I try to report stuff that can help others out.
The gears, seats and mufflers are the first things I'm adjusting after driving it. Things that look good on paper sometimes don't work well in the real world. I think the 3.25's will be good, and I'm even considering Richmond's new 3.15's just to be different. It's a good in-between 3.08's and 3.25's. The TKO has kinda resisted 2nd-3rd shifts with any gusto, but it's probably me.
The specific tuning I've done so far is on the chassis dyno and the sensors it has. Nothing hand-held, although that sure would be nice. But the car needs a load to boost up, and the dyno is better than trying to do it and drive, even with a passenger. On the road, boost is coupled with tunnel-vision and it's hard to even look down at the gauge.
