According to the spec sheet you sent to me, your car is totally stock.
Have you loaded the Cobb-supplied "stock" calibration and watched your fuel trims?

Yes I have. I forget the numbers exactaly, but the LTFT never made it down to zero unless my foot was on the gas. The car runs very well, but these numbers are bothering me.

I know it's _not_ a problem with the AP or your maps, so it must be a hardware issue in the car itself. Logically it would be the stock injectors with 60k miles on them. I have no problem throwing the cash down to buy a new set if it will help resolve the issue.

No, your injectors are fine.
They'll last practically forever.

Please, load the Cobb "stock" calibration, reset the PCM, put the display in "live data" mode with the car in the "on" position and then start the car and observe the fuel trims.
Then, drive around until the engine is warmed up, take a highway trip and come back home and park.
After an hour or two, do all this again and look at the trims again.

Gotcha. Driving to and from work will have to do. Fifteen or so miles of mixed "stop-n-go" traffic and crusiing. I'll go flash the stock map on there and report back tomorrow evening.

it will work but tuning is a bit more challenging due to MAF location on Esmiril. (after turbo)

Probably.
The problem is the blow-through setup.
The MAF doesn't like that very much.

As soon as I come across one, I'll tune for it.

I'm still trying to think of a way to make it draw-through. There just isn't any room in there.

No. They are going out Monday.
I'll make sure you get yours by Wednesday.

Thanks. Just to be redundant. I have an 04 MT with the Pettit S/C kit and a straight pipe where the CAT used to be. I don't know if this makes a difference, but I will be doing the LS2 ignition upgrade before I start boosting again.

Lastly, I would like the rev limiter set to 10,000rpm.

why do you want to go to 10,000rpm?

Because its 800 more than 9200!
800 more of something is a good thing.
Unless its fleas.

You don't wanna do this! Bearing stresses go up exponentially as RPMs climb. 1000RPM over 9000 is much more stressful than 1000 over 8000. Maximum rated RPM for transmission components is 10500 RPM. I forget the exact reasoning, but the engine can't flow enough air to give any meaningful power at 10K... it would be pointless to rev so so high. Power output aside, I'd be worried about bearing failure at 10K.

I think the 9200 and 9300 RPM limit is nice because it's just a touch more RPMs and with all the AFR leaning, the power doesn't fall off as rapidly at 9000 as it does stock.

Don't forget that Lysholm's rev limit for the blower (plus the overdrive ratio of the pulley system) puts the maximum motor speed around 8400 RPM.
But you can do whatever you like.

I appreciate your concern. Let me reassure you by saying if the car doesnt' make any more power above 9k, then I "promise" I will not drive it up there.

Oh, I also "promise I will never die".

Does the ratio from Pettit take the Lysholm over 15k after 8400 rpm??

I know. I honestly didn't know that the ratio from Pettit spun the blower over 15k at higher rpms. I thought it didn't, but if it does..........Cool!!

Weekend Results...

LTFT is @ -2%...STFT is @ +/- ~2% with 0 avg...

Stage 2 map...pre-warmup two rpm transition points causes a heavy "stumble"...the avg temps for the car fluxed from 190-200 with a 77F ambient temp.

Stage 3 brought up the temps to 200-210 nominal on the same day...

I'm running back on 2 until I get the rest of the car sorted along with replacing the plugs, and doing a complete flush of the coolant system to change the ratio...
