If I were doing it, I would look at the numbers and adjust accordingly

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I want to stop working on this car but i cant. :hmm  Wife pissed me off last night(whole nother story) so i took a drive.  For some reason, i cannot get my O2's up in third gear.  SM showed zero knock but the O2's had dropped to 750 solid(WOT pull from 1st gear up to third).  First gear was 820, dropped down to 806 throughout second, and by the top of second they were at 796. when the car shifted to 3rd they dropped to 760 then 750.

I dont normally ride around with it out unless im testing.  I was just driving at the time of observance.  I shouldn't have posted this without numbers.  I'll get some.  I also need to check my WOT voltage.

and with line-off FP set at 43, with the boost being set at 17lbs WOT, the FP at WOT should be 60?

im going to narrow my issues down to voltage.  I know the scantool dont reflect the exact voltage at the back of the alternator(wish it did) but with my lights on, heat on, at night, a short WOT blast showed the voltage at 13.3. definitely an issue for me. Guess i can start re-doing some wiring.   :x
