Arrow group buy on a specific gauge for the new 3 gauge pods

If you are considering a Fuel/Air gauge for the pods that Noel is working on, here is a great site to review first.

I have just ordered one from the company because I WANT TO KNOW AT WOT if I'm running lean or not. A stock F/A gauge only indicates the mixture when crusing or at partial throttle, NOT AT WOT where it's needed the most.

This company takes care of that problem. The owner (Mike) has told me that he would give a discount with a group purchase.

Let me know what you think after going over the site.

...Sounds reasonable... I ran a J&S knock sensor w/ AF gauge in my other car... It always lights the 2nd (rich) LED at WOT... if I ever see the 3rd (rich) LED instead of 2nd, I get worried, at the 4th LED... I get out of it... I know from experience that the LEDs will never swing over to the LEAN side at WOT. So this guy takes care of that.

Jim: Did the owner sound like he new what he was talking about?

If so... I'm in!

Yes he does sound like he knows what he is talking about. He mentioned that Mach 5 Motor Sport gets all their up-graded F/A meters from him. I personally don't know who they are. Maybe you do.

for your info;
the following is MachV web site http://www.machv.com/
Infact here is where MachV is selling the re-vamped A/F gauges from Mike. We can get them direct from Mike a lot cheaper. http://st7.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=machv&qu ery=A%2FF+gauges&.autodone=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.machv. com%2Fnsearch.html

An Exgaust Gas Temp gage is much more accurate than an A/F gage. A/F comes off the O2 wich has a slower duty cycle

svt-tommy

The stock gauge that you purchased from Summit or Carparts is different from what this post is about.

svt-tommy: this is a specially-modified A/F gauge, that's why it's more expensive....follow the link posted by FORDSALES and you'll see what we're talking about.
