yeah you cant touch closed loop fueling since the ecu will always target stoich, even if you put a different value in there. timing on the other hand...

Ya...good point. I am obvisouly too tired and out of it to be posting. I will shut up now. But Mikey said it anyways, that I doubt he changed low-load timing. I actually do want to add a few degrees low-load though, as it should give a couple extra MPG's, a long with some added torque. Did you do this already Turco, and if so, notice a difference in fuel economy?

i am totally down for that. i am def. going to the track, but i will head back early so we can go in to town.


I just told my friend laura - about the girl i was trying to pick up the other night, and she said the only reason she had no idea what to say was because she had a boyfriend, otherwise she would have given me an excuse. so regardless - hopefully i made her night. (and no she wasn't bogus - she was super cute!!!)

So I would like to get my tires mounted on the new wheels this weekend...is Town Fair Tire any good? There's a relatively new one on Rt 20. I don't want them to put them on the car, just mount and balance them. I refuse to go to Sears...they are a bunch of incompetant touch-holes. Any other suggestions?

I have used Discount Tire in Natick with good results... lately I've taken the car to Lester at Apex Automotive Engineering in Marlborough... he's not cheap ($65) but he uses lead tape for balancing...instead of the rim weights and he's kept my 18's looking nice...

look him up at www.apexautoeng.com
