I would say it is a good thing to know what your A/F is during WOT. Just remember that the load imposed by the dyno is less than the load put on when your at the track, so you may want to consult with the dyno shop owner re how to adjust your WOT values, assuming you have a MAFT or other means to alter your WOT A/F.

The A/F (Air/fuel ratio) will tell if your running rich or lean or just right. If you done alot of mods, especially H/C or nitrous, you should check your A/F. It's normally only an extra $10 or so.

I'll definitely do a A/F then.
I might need to invest in a MAFT also.

If interested in a MAFT go to sponser section and jump in on the thread we got going for a GP on a MAFT from MMS.

I do my A/F testing on the dyno every once in a while. Done it 3 times out of 20 dyno's thus far, and its always been fine.

You can get a lot of extra horsepower out of the car, I haven't had mine dynoed tuned with it yet, but I want to dyno tune my car with custom programming... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
