If I can smell fuel pretty good when I'm sitting in the car should I get it tuned better? I have a TREX cam, full exhaust, bolt ons, A3. The previous owner said the car was tuned for nitrous so its a little bit rich. Its not extremely rich to where it burns your eyes but I can definately tell its rich, I'm hoping I can get more horsepower with the air/fuel adjusted.

At idle it shouldn't have the fuel smell. The nitrous tune part should only affect wide open or full throttle operation.

mine is tuned with hp tuners speed density mode and it works really good. I also have the T-rex

A big cam, especially without cats is going to emit more fumes, it's the nature of the beast.

Is that a hand held tuner? Also what kind of valve springs, lifters, pushrods, and rockers are u using with your cam?

no, its a full tuning suite...as far as the exhaust smell, with no cats its normal to smell what your smelling...its just unburnt exhaust gas you could be running 15.0:1 and you'll still smell the same thing.

Get use to the smell, no way around it unless you put cats back on the car.

So its like a computer tuning software that I can adjust and then plug it into my car? Does it require a laptop?

Unless you plan on running a 50 foot usb wire out to your vehicle, yes a laptop is pretty much required

With more then capable laptops starting at around $150 on ebay and NEW laptops going for $399 they are very affordable.

Well i have a good PC inside, maybe i'll get the 50ft usb cable

I wonder if these $150 laptops are capable of running the software..

Minimum requirements

400 MHz CPU
128 Mb RAM
Microsoft Windows® 98 SE
Serial Port* (Version 1 Serial Interface Only)
USB Port (Version 2 USB Interface Only)

personally though laptops are so cheap NEW that theres very little reason to buy used anymore unless you find a REALLY good deal. I purchased my latest one for $449 & recently bought a 1gb stick of RAM for it and I'll be set for a while.

I use the lifters, pushrods, etc. that come with the thunder racing cam kit
