for starters, do some data logging to see where your average fuel trims are at, and adjust the fueling accordingly...

you could raise your rev limiter and change the 1>2 shift to 6000 rpm, that will help 2nd gear get into the power band faster. But do like mike says and get the fuel trims corrected first. Are you running the 87 octane or the diablo tune?

or, you could do what I (Lew) said, which was to log your fuel trims... since Mike hasn't posted in this thread at all... :lol: :lol:
