But as stated, all I'm trying to do now is find a vacuum leak, once I can pin point that and eliminate it, then I'll look into tuning. (BTW I don't claim to know everything, it's just annoying when your looking for help and people w/ no clue immediately say you need a tune or your car will blow up.....)
If the tranny is under control why the hell did you make this thread? And its nice to know youve got a wide band, thatll do a great job of watchin the bearings your gunna spin! Good job OP!

and then the idiot, he knows more than all of us. I am a Master Tech and you are?????? If you think it impossible to blow up your engine without a tune and N/A you are an idiot, you are washing the oil right off the cylinder wall with it that rich, and you are still hitting WOT!

Well, if you're a Master Tech, then you would've known the tune wouldn't fix a vacuum leak...... lol

Ok, everything is good! The passenger side intake gasket was real wet and not sealing. So I just got done replacing both gaskets this time using a slight bit of ultra black RTV and the car is running EXCELLENT! Of course it doesn't like to idle and is a bit rough at stop lights and stop signs (still has stock stall) but nothing too bad.

My wide band shows its running between 14.0 and 16.0 just cruising and under WOT it runs 13.4ish in the lower R's and as it climbs towards 5500-6k it drops to 13.0-12.9ish. I also hooked up a diablo to take a look at fuel trims and knock, which the short terms were off as much -/+8% cruising and the most knock I saw was 3.5 degrees. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to get the tune taken care of.
