What tuner do you have? You need to do some datalogging and monitor your fuel trims to try and compensate. Do some runs with your tuner and see what kind if A/F corrections are being made and go from there. If I were you, I would just stay out of hard time WOT until you get the tunes.

Hmmm...well from your tone who are you?

All I was suggesting was that he get real numbers before he do anything if anything at all hence the warning to stay out of WOT. I don't claim to be anyone. I just happened to have recently had personal experience on the dyno (at a dynojet facility) with lean issues and had to do alot of communicating with them/troyer/vmp about correcting the issue and was just trying to keep a fellow board member from hurting their vehicle.

That is all, no claims of super knowledge of tuning and no pissing contests dude. So ease up.
