So we're talking about software interpretation of the same data. If lamda is more desireable, why don't wideband controllers use it, and why don't we use the O2 sensor signal from the car for AFR readouts?

Great example of a reason not to mess with a maf tuned system without retuning
BUT --great example also of what may happen once it is retuned with a true CAI!! Thanks Juan--i even have more faith in the water meth system now than I had before.
Why the hell Snow went up on there price so much? A $290 product is now over $400? WTF?

Just got back from a 2500 mile trip with the car. It was !@#$ing awesome.
The car did great; 20mpg with avg hwy speeds of 75-85 mph, and I beat the hell out of it. It can even accelerate nicely going uphill in 6th gear... I couldn't test that before last week since I live in Florida and there aren't any real hills around here. The Tail of the Dragon was a lot more fun this time than it was back in November when I went with some friends in a Dodge Durango. Following Cam through it just made it more fun.
My only issue involved occasional bubbling in my intercooler reservoir, which I hope to remedy with some of that D.E.I. Charge Chill that Juan raves about, so I ordered some from Mr. Hill this weekend and hope to get it by the end of the week.
Hopefully before Summer begins I'll be able to start my car's meth addiction, and maybe in September I'll head up for TBOD.

Why don't we use it??? I have been saying since the day I found out there was a WB02 sensor, and I could read it's Lambda reading on OBDII (i.e. 4+ years ago), that there was no need to put an additional WB02 sensor on the car. Canzoomer told me to "get over it", and others have argued it's value. Sometimes I feel like
Thankfully, people are staring to appreciate it.Cheers,

Wideband controllers do use it! They just calculate and display the AFR because that is what people want to see. Sort of like Imperial v's Metric.

Mark, I think this issue is a prime example of the benefits of being "bilingual".

It doesn't appear to show AFR's under 11. That to me makes it useless since I want to know how much under 11 the AFR is. Under 10 I don't care about since the car runs like crap at that point.

Most fun I've had in a while.

I think the best advice for the Pettit owners is to get the IATs down to as close to ambient as possible, first, then deal with potential belt-slippage, second, THEN look into adding more stuff to the kit. Besides, by the time all that is done my spacers will be ready to go and then you guys can absolve yourselves of needing to drill anything in order to install the alky kits.

BTW, did your customer service folks told you about my above mentioned BHR mods backorders?
