It's actually the unburnt 02 that the 02 sensor is picking up. Remember, it's an oxygen sensor not a fuel sensor.

Congrats Ron! Your new name now is, "Ron tha Don!"

Very anxious to test mine this weekend if we get some good weather. Won't be at the track, but I will be able to tell by seat of the pants I am sure.

3200 rpm testing tonight. I will get a better video soon. When you guys are on the 2 step are you absolutely hitting it to the floor?

Yours pop and carry on when you do that? Maybe a more major amount of fuel than the 4 bangers I am used to but some fireworks out the tailpipe from mine, haha. Only when floored.

Yeah, but not bad.

You seeing any boost?

Just click share and post a link. Copy and paste. Hell if nothing else, go to the link, and highlight all the stuff at the top and post it here. I am sure that will work.

My engine wants to jump out of the bay, and I know it doesn't like it. Probably doesn't like 15psi either lol.

I tried the "soft" feature which drops individual cylinders vs a hard-cut, no difference in smoothness or amount of boost.

Well mine is definitely popping and carrying on. Maybe I need to pull some fuel out of it. I am going to TRY to put it in gear and log what it is doing today. Kinda wet out so not sure if I will get a chance.

Sarg where does your converter foot stall at? Mine is at 2600 and that's probably why I can only get 4psi no matter what else I do.

Not sure what you mean by foot stall. But it will push through the brakes or start spinning at 2800ish.

What RPM do you have yours set at Sarg? Are your plugs fouled out or old?

If the plugs are fouled out or old then it may be misfiring.

On my car the plugs that I had in it from the very first start up had to be changed out once we got it on the dyno. It wouldn't pull past 4500-5000rpm without popping and banging and misfiring.

Put fresh plugs in it and it was fine. If you're at a really low RPM you may just be hearing more popping from fuel in the exhaust than actual engine noise as the engine is not turning a lot of RPM.

Just a thought.

It is at 3200 rpms. I am going to try to so some logging and see what I can tell. It is definitely coming out the exhaust. Shoots small fireballs, haha.

Oh I know that. I am of the opinion I need to try to tune it on the sloppy brake only at first and make sure it is tuned right and then apply the 2 step. That is my plan right now.
