thanks bud, and that's a good point. IDC do increase steadily on the FIC 2150's through the RPMs even when it goes beyond 380 load
Never even thought about looking at IPW to see what it was doing... looks like it may be mechanical Chris... may have been too low on fuel, if not it may be time for a surgetank

I'm probably going to pick up more fuel tomorrow and see how it does with 10 gallons in the tank. I'm on fumes now but I did one last pull tonight and stopped at 777awhp 624tq

thanks bud, I have the d2 coilovers now so no more rebounding after hitting the bump stops on the stock suspension but it's still going to spin pretty bad I think. maybe I'll invest in some slicks eventually.

ok, here's a little more data to chew on. here's what the AFR looks like in a log AFTER adding tons of fuel across the board. you can see that at high rpm it's going richer but in that midrange it's starving for fuel for some reason. IDC tracks damn near 1:1 with RPM as it rises. I'm really hoping that it's just because I'm very low of fuel and sucking up some air with the fuel until the tq falls off at high rpm and lets the fuel settle back to the bottom of the fuel tank.

i was just about to comment and ask if this was when you were low on fuel then i decided to re-read your post and you said it in there now haha...
i bet its from the fuel tank being low for sure .. because the high TQ is starving the pickup. im sure it will be normal once you get some fuel in the tank because everything else looks good.
if it was a fuel starving issue it would happen high rpm not downlow .. so i think youll be good. but i suspect youll need to upgrade to bigger fuel lines eventually now that you're pushing serious airflow.

yeah you're right, if it were a fuel supply issue the car would go leaner as the power and demand for fuel increased. e85 is 1.5 hours one way from here but I just might make the road trip tomorrow to put this "issue" to rest so I can get on with trying to crack 800 on the stock maf hehe
damn that sucks you have to travel for e85.. you have all those nice smooth long *** roads but no pump race fuel lol.
i think it will hit 800 no prob on maf. and thats some serious power and with the 2L rev'ing out your car will run some crazy *** times once all traction is sorted out.
I bet it didnt even skip a beat tho even with that lean spike.. gotta love e85. and the torque is going to spoil you for sure once you put it back on 93oct lol.

i would look into getting 50-100 gal drum and then making something so you can pump it into the car from it at your house....... that would be the best but i think there are some laws regarding how much you can store etc.. but no one would ever bother you if you did it without telling anyone.
i have e85 1 mile away from me lol.. but the first time i ever went there it was 1.50 a gall and now its over 2.00!!!!!!!! its ridiculous.
The only thing i hate about e85 is how quick it burns off.. it gets annoying.
