Dragger convinced me to add an oil catch can so we did this, seperated the s/c vent and crankcase vent lines. It's a vibrant can. top of the can seperates with seal rings so you can pull the bottom off and dump it without unhooking all the lines, 7 holes top and 7 on bottom.
Next up for Denny is a Mr Fusion and a Flux Capacitor.

A mind is a terrible thing.

Took it to the track Sat. All we can say is OMG, and you tell me it can make more power?
We are more than pleased, it's exactly what we were looking for in power and that sweet sound.

ok --Juan what was the verdict? Was it the o2 sensor?

I have had something strange occur.
I placed my 2 550 injectors into the p2 postion getting ready for a tuning session later this month and now on my last efi log--I have ZERO LTFT--straight across. No LTFT at all--not even a ping.
I am running my engine cooler now at around 170F or so--would that have an affect?
I did get 300g/sec in second gear at 6.8K rpm. I am not getting any a/f's lower than 11.1 ( factory limit) and on my innovate wide band--i havent seen anything lower than the low 11's.
I am running the low boost pulley.
Maybe my engine needed more fuel all along?

Nope, it will arrive tomorrow.

I did however checked all my vacuum hose but as I stated before, they all have zip-ties on them. I also sprayed plenty of carb cleaner all over the engine bay and no change in idle speed.

I talked to Cam and he also agree about changing the O2 sensor due to the mileage and the additional exhaust heat generated by the boost.

Drove the car to Tampa to have it Tech at Vortex and back (80 miles). Car drives great and lost of power. OBDII AFR and AEM O2 sensor readings are the same while driving. I can clear the DTC code and is back almost instantly.

In other news I installed a Corbeau 3 point seat belt cuz I'm tired of sliding all over the seat when racing.

Bolted to the seat rear rail bolts and the upper strap thru the upper seat rotor hole and to the seat right side rail bolt.

All I had to do was to get longer bolts to accommodate the seat belts anchor plates and a washer I added to the left side to keep the both left and right level.

Feels like I'm wearing a straight jacket. Looking forward to Sebring on Sunday.

CONGRATS MOON!!!!!!!!!
Your life is about to change--big time.
Its good.
Put a ZOOM-ZOOM sticker on the stroller

Juan---closed loop should not be affected from a bad o2 sensor--should it? So power should not be affected?
oem and aem wideband are the same? Then that means its working?
Swap injectors around and see what happens?
Leaking ssv?
following with interest

Finally got my msd coils in--dang things are BIG. I had to do some mods to my a/w tank to get clearance.
I do understand from MSD that they have modified these coils to work on a dwell of 3ms.
New Moroso spark plug wires too.
Bought cheap ultrasonic machine to clean sparkplugs--use white viniger--it works!
Dang track plugs are $35 bucks apiece--so I had to do something...
