87 smells the same as 93. Get out of your car and it's like you've been mowing lawns all day -
engineermike replied to the thread Are headers worth it over just going catless + catback.Does anyone here run 87 in a mustang?
-
engineermike replied to the thread Are headers worth it over just going catless + catback.The irony is that cats last much better in e85 than pump gas due to the lower EGT.
-
A fuel system won't change how much boost you can run on 93.

@robvas is right. Just ask your tuner or one of the parts sellers. Seriously. Better yet, I will make this easy on you. @beefcake...

Your stock cats ARE high flow. Just let it go for crying out loud.

Skip the intake and just do an E85 tune.

engineermike replied to the thread Are headers worth it over just going catless + catback.Definitely surprised the heck out of me. I made a dyno pull without cats (straight pipes), then swapped GT500 cats in and made another...

I guess some of these cars make 800+ whp on pump gas and 7 PSI. š¦

I'd like to see a mechanical boost gauge hooked up on that car at redline. It's only getting 7200rpm right?

engineermike replied to the thread Need some datalog help .... Seems rich to me or am I wrong..88 x .95 x 60 =50.16 I could buy 50 na but 60 is high. Sounds like your tuner owes you a better maf transfer function. Or your fuel...

Think of the trims as a air/fuel error %. Say the ecu is commanding 1.0 lambda, but the front o2 sensors are saying we are only...

Exactly this. One thing to add is Cat over-temp doesn't equal instant max enrichment. That is the maximum the ecu is allowed to hit...

engineermike reacted to Pistol_91's post in the thread Need some datalog help .... Seems rich to me or am I wrong with Like.
Max enrichment = .70 lambda @ 1650 degree cat temps. This is what he's talking about. Power enrichment will bring it to the .82 lambda...

Nobody's questioning that. Just if the Whipple weight is overstated.
