Unhappy Need help ASAP please!!!

Ok so Let me start by sayin, I have read and googled everything about this but i have yet to find something that relates to my issue.

Now I have a STOCK 2000 LS1 A4 with ls6 manifold, truck coils, and ported throttle and tuned on HP Tuners on my 240sx. The issue im having and it started over night is this.

When i go WOT or just rev the motor passed 5000rpms it goes SUPER SUPER RICH from 11.5 to the 10.5 AFR. Now i dont hit a wall when this happends BUT it does break up all the way through the rest of the revs to 6500rpms.

What i have done so far. I have changed wires and plugs.
I have a log of the car on a WOT throttle i will post tomorrow.
I also opened the valve covers and the springs/retainers are not broken, and pushrods are good. But it does not feel like valve float but i could be wrong.

Car has no DTC's what so ever. But i have lost over 25 WHP when i put it on the dyno a week ago. Which is is really pissing me off.

If anyone can please shine a light or point me to an idea i can look into. Thanks I just want to take my car to the track and race the damn thing...

Is it throwing codes? or Is it flashing any lights? Did you try putting in the stock coils?

Unplug the mass air meter and try it again and see if it does better..

You are carrying an extra 12% fuel into WOT from you LTFTs. Based off the o2 switch points you are not going that rich. I realize they are not real accurate for WOT stuff but they can give an indication of an extreme over rich condition as you are describing and it doesn't reflect that.

I would look at ignition problems or voltage issues.

If this is normally aspirated, why in the world would you have it at 11.5-1 before it went tilt?
Not going into COT mode, is it?

He means, if it's normally asperated, why would you command 11.5:1 A/F in the first place? Should be high 12s, or 13:1 A/F.

COT mode is Converter Over Temp Mode: the PCM commands very rich A/F to lower EGTs, thus cool the cats.

Any decent scan tool will tell you if/when it goes into COT mode. It's nothing to see one go into COT during a dyno pull. Usually by 5000. 10.5-1 is black smoke.

Unless your COT is coming into play, then someone raped on your PE tables to get it tuned which is why the 11.5:1 commanded.
