Gotta keep this in mind. And if you lift the pedal at all then reengage the engine will dump fuel and you will be temp. lean but then it will richen back up as soon as it sees you reengage. These are some complicated *** cars. But once you understand how they work it's all manageable. Temporary leanness on these cars is ok as long is it's not more than 1-3 sec's, I ran 13.1-1 for over 15 minutes on the dyno and not even a nip at the electrodes. Hope this helps some! This is all considering no meth and no nitrous because with either of these you need a much richer environment like 11.0-1. By the way in your case I would gap the plugs at .030 -.035. The wider the gap the leaner the engine, the closer the gap the richer the engine to the point of misfire. The only reason my gap is so close is the nitrous was blowing out my spark. You should not have to go this close.
Thanks for the info and advice. My o2 sensors are before the cats, one in each header. I regaped the plugs today to .035(im getting fast at swapping spark plugs).

The temp was 68 degrees out and A/F was 11.8-12.5 most the time, everynow and then it would tap 13.0 for a millisecond. What do you think of that? Can we conclude here that most you guys thing 12.5 is safe?

Now i will say one other thing. Everysingle time like clock work at 5700rpm in the top of 4th gear it goes straight up to 15, 16, 17......its running out of fuel. I think bigger injectors would help here. Id like one of you fellow 185mm guys to try it in a safe place your cars have to be doing the same thing.

Heres my first attempt at a video see if this works:

I dont have a AFR Gauge - but I have been running with the 185mm pulley for a few thousand miles. I only have the ears of a pilot and spark plug inspection to tell and so far no issues.

It sounds like a pretty strange problem because your ECU does recover..

I'm glad it's all working out for you. It sounds like you are building one screamer of a SRT6.

I just finished yanking the plenium and valve covers off mine tonight.
