Getting the most out of your Apexi S-AFC= Stock MAF honeycomb removal - Page 14 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Now we need a wideband to tune the bitch. I'm certain it's too rich. Certain....

I'll bet there is 30 or more HP we are leaving on the table. And wait till you get new IC's!!

IMO, that's what you need next Franko.. After the EGT sensor.

IC's or FJO?? i would assume you mean the FJO to tune my whip. that will be coming after the EGT, i want to get it asap, but if not i put the car away for the winter in late october, in which i dont drive it too much after summer. after that i have alot of plans for it. so we'll talk and see what we can do.

I am new here and I will be picking up my new (94) Stealth R/T TT next week. It has a APEXI S-AFC, Blitz DSBC,450cc DSM injectors, hotwired fuel pump, Autometer Ultra-Lite Boost, EGT, and Air Fuel ratio gauges and stock turbos. The car was performanced tuned by a shop and the current owner has not played with any of the settings so he has no pointers to pass on. I will be picking the car up and driving about 2400 miles back home so I want to make sure that I can set it up for either economy or performance. I will not have access to a Dyno so I need some comfortable numbers to set the APEXI S-AFC for each conditions and what I should be looking for fine tuning. I understand that the gauges listed above are not going to show me everything but I am sure that some of you have played and tested enough to be able to get me in the ball park on this. Now let me through a twist in, I would like to do the mod to the MAF by removing the honeycomb. So what I am asking here is, with the current mod's listed above and the mod to the MAF, what do I set the Fuel/Air settings to for each driving conditions and what do I look for to fine tune?

Any other advice to a Newby would be appreciated. I am eager to learn.

Thanks in advance

My last question is what is the max EGT's I can sustain?

Somehow I'd think that telling the world (or the internet) that you work on all of the drug dealers in Albany, New York's cars wouldn't make you safer. I've never found that exposing drug dealers to the public has made my life easier. Just a tip.

I'd love to see the dyno curves too, but not because I don't believe the numbers. If you dynoed 475 AWHP on 15gs at 17psi you deserve some kind of recognition for having the highest dynoed HP from 15gs. Was this on race gas?

It's your car man. Personally, I prefer driving it healthy than broken.

Your basically telling me your race is more important than if you run lean/rich?
