He suggested that my dyno's be done with air/fuel mixture testing as well... Unfortunately that takes my cost from a basic $45 dyno run to $125 for the additional A/F ratio tests. Oh well, one less Cohiba cigar and bottle of 18 y/o single malt scotch... LOL

I'm going to try to get to Buttonwillow on Monday (Presidents Day) since I'm not working... I'll keep you posted...
I don't see a problem with the MAF sensor no more than it will be pressurized. Definitely do a wide band A/F. Generally, OEM’s like to flood gas into the engine mostly for a safety net. It’s not uncommon to see 11:1 A/F ratio but I’m not that familiar with foreign cars. Under WOT you can live with about 13/1 AFR but I always shoot for 12.7/1 for max power. Amazingly, running the engine on the fat side doesn’t hurt performance that much. I very anxious to see how this all plays out.
