part- U7146
rev- 9R02
ymm- 2000 mustang GT


i did a data log the other day to see if my babys running right it feels good but that doesnt mean much the log is from start up let the engine warm some then went for a lil "warm up drive" near the end of the log is a good 3rd gear pull with a shift to forth then i coasted

the car has 2 1/2 inch greyhound performance off road x pipe with 2 1/2 cherry bomb glasspacks :D (all i need is some headers) , intake is a C&L aluminum deal with a 80 mm maf housing and a K&N cone. i am running 93 octane. i have a custom fabricated IAC restrictor plate (cut peice of coke can :) ) about a 5/16 to 7/16 or so hole in it. im using the can tune but have changed the following


Trac off
fan ect1 184
fan ect 2 184
fan high off 182
fan low off 174
fam low on 182
idle 805
bank 1 downstream o2 off
bank 2 downstream o2 off
o2 sensor config off
obd2 test off
rev limiter 6100
speed limter off
spark advance 2-4k 2.5 + adv
spark advance 4-7k 4 + adv

i want to know if everything seems to be running good and if theres room for more advance im looking around for an AFR gauge for dialing in the wot fuel


if you need any other info just ask

i wish paychecks friday maybe i can squeeze enough

i have several good 4 wire hego o2 sensors i could use is there a good gauge youd reccomend?

im not to sure on this stuff i havent got into it much but cant you tell roughly from the lamda readings where your at?

i knew i didnt want to mess with the fuel till i had a gauge so i could see what im running i dont want to hurt anything i figure if anything its prob running lean as it is with the off road exhaust and intake.

thing runs great tho huge improvement from the 10 k miles ago when i got it O_o

thanks for your help

Well it depends on where you what to put the gauge. I personally didnt want to install a gauge pod or hack up my dash. Also you want a gauge that will data log and I didnt want to spend a arm and a leg either. This is what used http://www.moates.net/product_info.php? ... cts_id=134 with the lc1 combo kit. I should of went with the red the blue is hard to see in the day. It does data log read the user manual there is a link on that page .

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lc1.php You can use the gauge or a laptop with their software will allow you to read your air fuel mixture. What I showed you is what I bought for my limited budget. At their time I purchased that was the best price I could find as a combo kit. For buying lower cost kit there is some assembling required which I had no problem with . Like I said read there user manual http://www.moates.net/zips/ometer_guide.pdf there is some soldering. If you feel uncomfortable with that you will spend a little more. You also have to have a o2 bung welded in your mid pipe which comes with the lc1 kit..

i was fairly sure that the data log gives a read out of the upstream o2s and that that could be interpreted as lamda giving you an idea of where it is but not as accurate. am i mistaken?
