HELP! - Running Super Leeeeean
I have an RRM stage 1 setup that I bought used off of Vince (Guru_Del) with 15000 miles on it. I have put 8000 on it and finally got around to getting on the dyno. My results were pretty scary to be honest. My scanner is down too, so I can't scan, but I'll take a picture and post. Andy they only did one pull because they were nervous about it, and they still charged me the full price $120. Here's the synopsis
2700 RPM - 14.7 A/F
3000 RPM - 16.0 A/F
3200 RPM - off the chart (>18.0) A/F
4200 RPM - 17.75 A/F
4350 RPM - off the chart (>18.0) A/F
4500 RPM - 17.75 A/F
5000 RPM - 15.5 A/F
6000 RPM - 14.7 A/F
So, wtf is wrong with my setup? I'm guessing this is why my engine is sounding so funny, all kinds of ticking under the hood. Is the FMU adjustable? Could the FMU be bad? Could my ECU be messed up?

Oh, maxed out 137hp and 145ft/lbs @4500 RPMs
Yeah, idk either. Wish I had a wideband right now so I could double check the readings.

Upgraded to 12:1 FMU and 190lph fuel pump. Injectors and fuel management don't go in till stage 2.
I've only punched it hard a handful of times, and I rarely push it for long periods of time. The funny thing is the car feels great when I reset the ECU, and that helped me pass emissions, but after a while the car feels like crap.

...obviously you're not getting fuel at load...u need to be very careful...get yourself a wideband af gauge...and make sure your injectors are not clogged or something...i think u need to upgrade your injectors...how much fuel are you running?
My credit card company can afford a new motor
I have boost/vac, EGT, and oil pressure right now. A/F is a waste unless you have wideband O2, which I can't really afford right now. The motor has what sounds like a bunch of valve chatter, but it has been doing that for some time now. I mean, the motor seems to be fine. How could you test to see if your pistons lost some chunks without pulling the head off?

Check to see what your spark plugs look like...
Sounds like your engine is knocking pretty bad, it wont last long like that
Edit: In fact hide your keys, because unless you feel like buying another engine don't drive your car another mile

The guy at the shop said it's not knocking, and I'm pretty sure he knows what knock sounds like.
Would having a CEL light for the first cat missing cause the ECU to lean things out?

no, if anything CEL will richen you up. My guess is the WBO2 they're using is fouled. You need to find another shop or just start doing this yourself. $120 is 40% of a Zeitronix with O2 bung 2-day shipped to you. And you could have been making runs all night with the Z.
Shouldn't the Stg 1 be pretty much plug-n-play? I would have expected a little lean: 12.5 or so, but your numbers aren't supported because you managed to drive your car home.
