Default Some Lterm ?'s and observations.

Ok, this is what I've done.. I have 2 cars. A 98 Z and a 2002 Z. The 2002 just has a lid and a catback. The 98 has a stall, gears, mac headers, borla exhaust, lid, FRA, ASP pulley, and a ported MAF sensor... remember that last one. The "stock" 2002 is much faster at the track... by 5 mph and pulls the 98 bad on the street, so it kinda upsets me that my 98 is so slow... so I autotapped both of them yesterday and found some things.

the 98... while in "driving around mode" not WOT usually sees a Lterm of 10 to 15% (lean) and at wot it sticks right at 15%... but the o2 voltages are not too lean, right around .880 to .900.

the 2002.. while "driving around" is dead nuts 0% and at WOT it is 0% and the o2 are .9 to .91 with just a slight amount or knock retard every now and then.

Is this slightly lean condition on the 98 making it run bad? Can I cure it by going back to a stock MAF housing, or will it take a MAF translator to fix it? Pleas help.

i'd try the stock MAF and see what happens.

The 02s are definitely faster but 5 mph is too much of a spread unless the 02 is a 6-speed.
