johns car needs nothing ... car is a monster

 

glad to see toby getting a nice/well maintained balt

 

Haha thanks guys and yeah me and Jon have been talking about things to do, I'm way too excited for this thing

 

Is that a correct statement?

 

it all depends on the tune. im running stock cooling and a 2.8. have been for 2 years now. and i just went back to a stock header 6 monthes ago as the badmab header i had cracked. but i run the crap out of my car.

a wideband is pointless unless you get retuned. or if you actually see that youre running ridiculously lean at wot and actually decide to get retuned or keep off the foot. i cant keep off of wot either way, so if your like me, getting it retuned is option #1 if you have suspicions

afr is not the only important aspect, but timing is as well. too much timing can wear your motor out, so if you can monitor knock retard any way, through interceptors or hpt, that would be ideal as well

 

in a perfect world, yes. if the upper levels of the maf curve were fit properly to the lower data points that were hit while tuning, maybe so. you really might not notice a difference dropping from a 2.9 to 2.8, but you might going from a 3.0 to 2.6 or whatever.

not saying that is advisable, however

 

i would retune after any pulley size changes period, just to always be on the safe side

 

yea exactly.

I would just get the car first and then buy parts lol ... get used to it before you put more money into it lol

 

Well I wanted to make it reliable first, but I won't be beating on it as I'll be learning manual
