Default Testing the new wideband gauge.. surprise ending.

Installed the new Autometer wideband gauge and decided to do a quick WOT blast to see the reading. I got to see something else instead.

(This was filmed in Mexico using smokes and mirrors along with other fancy special effects)

lol.

Getting rolled after you've just finished new mods is probably the worst feeling.

I'm assuming you weren't spraying though?

I was expecting the fuel pressure gauge to go to 0 and the engine blow up and all hell break loose...

Oh well I think what actually happened was probably a better outcome

I didn't install any mods to make the car go faster so getting walked was no biggie.

I was not spraying because I wasn't planning on a race or anything. Just checking WOT on motor.

I too am glad that the fuel pressure did not drop and the car go Boom.

You know.. good question. I had my mechanic put it in. I'm running true duals with a x-pipe. When I get back in town, I'll crawl under the car and take a picture of it.

just make sure the wideband sensor is between the 9' and 3' o'clock posistion...

for some reason if not it seems to burn up a sensor sooner... at least on Lightning's it will
