Is anyone else running extremely rich, my exhaust has a real gas smell when I first start and idle rough at start up and for a few miles after warm up?

I am on the M calibration, and yes, my 8 is running VERY rich. Here is a plot of my AF during acceleration tests.

I had the dealership tell me that the 8 runs rich - especially after a cold start...

never heard of an 8 running rich

Me too, my stock charts looked pretty much like that. For a car that runs 11.0+ AFR on the high RPMs, I can't believe this isn't a turbo car :D

That's because the motor is waiting for one (or maybe two...) :D

hmm i remember on another topic someone had problems shifting into 4th gear so happens i have the same problem after high rpms. I belive that person's dealership changed the fork? i think. something about the fork was messed up causing it to grind into 4th in high rev driving ,iunno if that helps but 4th gear is my only problem in shifting
