How much power am I giving up? Ok, made some runs with the autotap last night. Mods are as follows.
(2001 Camaro SS)
-Wisper lid
-K&N Filter
-Hooker Longtubes
-DrGas 3" X-Pipe with 16" Bullets
-Home ported Maf
-Home ported T-Body(no epoxy)
Auto Tap-
-Short Term Fuels- At WOT both would sit at 0% Never moved once. The rest of the time, they would float in the positives below 10%.
-Longterm- Once I got into it at WOT they would start to drop below 10%+. Most of the time, without WOT, they would be between 12% and 20%
-02's- At WOT I'm around .920 - .940 Every once and a while I will hit .910's but not very often.
-No KR AT ALL
-Timing at WOT it went up to 40 and stayed there
My question is, with the 02's showing what they are, can I lean it out a bit for a little more power or am I about at the max? I have LS1edit on the way, and I haven't done any programming prior to this. I just ported the MAF ends last weekend, that seemed to make a BIG difference in power. My guess is that I was WAY rich before the ends.
Any comments?

Re: How much power am I giving up? yes leaning it out will give you more power.
i leaned out mine and gained .2 in the 1/4.
sometimes it takes awhile to get it dialed in, but when you do, BAM!
i used to have a MAFT , but now i have LS1edit and now im back to at step 1, trying to dial it in again

Re: How much power am I giving up? I agree lean is mean,but you need to fatten part throttle to get Ltrims near 0,and then you will probably need to lean wot settings to get proper leanness for best power. BTW you have the most WOT timing i have ever heard of with out tuning on a 2001, if you figure out how and why please enlighten me because i could use some of that! My wot timing has never gone over 26* and with my mods i believe im leaving power on the table.
