    What AFR gauge are you using?  I have been looking at the Innovate one but am open to suggestions.

    PLX Devices.  I like it, when I get it to work.  It hasn't worked because of my own doing to first time and I think I know why it went south again.

    Are you going back to LMT to dyno it? I'd like to see you make a few pulls!

    I think so.  It would probably be good to keep it consistent to compare numbers.  And it didn't burst into flames there so that's that.  I'll let you all know when I schedule a date with LMT so you can see the Doc be a nervous wreck.

    by the wideband "not working" is the gauge receiving power but not getting a signal from the sensor?

    If so, check the sensor and gauge grounds. I have an Innovate MTX-L, and love it, but it wouldnt let me use the ground on the factory O2 connector. It wouldnt get enough voltage from the car and threw an error code (very picky about grounds)

    No power to the gauge.  I pulled out the + wire in the power connector they included in the kit while adjusting the wires so I could crimp the in-line fuse that I was installing.  Radio shack doesn't have that power plug thing so I soldered it back together to work but it wasn't the doc's best showing.  After I get it running I'll track it down.

                We should turn it into a guessing game. 

                Guess the peak HP and win a date with Kaiser?

                      With a proper tune this should be easy.

                        I just really want a steak date...

                        This dyno run will be a base to send to trm for tweaking.

                            20-24psi.  Whatever spring combo gets me up in that range.  That is my turbo's g-spot.

                                I have K1 rods w/ARP hardware on them. The head studs are stock diameter ARPs.

                                          yea honestly 550 with a built s52 i would be sad. Why did you pick 9.2:1 pistons for pump gas? Or maybe you just wanted something reliable around those numbers. Not bashing or anything, just wondering.
