WTF happened?

Check this $h!t out!!!!!



I was driving around on I15 and all of a sudden the car starts bucking. Boost still at 16psi but slow as hell!!. Could get over 6500 rpm. As long as I don't go over 4k rpm I was fine. WOT is when it started to suck. Also Just got HP Tuners. I'm not editing anything yet but my AFR was 14.699. SOMEONE help me out. suggestions please.

Looks like an extreme lean condition + detonation....

The plugs got extremely hot, melted off the electrode.

Good thing you didnt burn a piston.

You should go ALOT more rich. Be around 12.0 but 11.5 or 12.5 is fine

Autolites strike again. They are problamatic plugs. Use NGK's or ZEX's. You have just found the source of the problems you have been having.

14.6 AFR is good....for idling.
Like the guys have said go for high 11's - low 12's.

I am surprised you haven't blown out a piston or 2 with that AFR.

This is what happens when you run too lean and detonate>>>>



Thats a 4.6 Mustang Motor, he had a centrifugal on it, and he obviously cracked the top layer of the piston off
