So, where do I start?

[phil_long]

one night in the dark I tried to adjust my translator.... ......
set it for the wrong MAF type was not a good idea 

I can only imagine the outcome

[phil_long]

Phil...remembe r that when you were messing the fuel and the translator before, the engine was not right due to the timing gear so set the translator to the defaults and try not to change it unless you are unable to get it right with the chip

I'll double check the settings, but im almost sure they are at the default settings. I'll let you know sir!!

[phil_long]

Im so tempted to record a video of a WOT pull.(not 3rd gear though) Idk why the idea of WOT in 3rd gear scares me so.

[Steve Wood]

Nothing to be afraid of....just watch the timing retard and let off if you see any and see what the 02s were at that point

I've been getting use to my car lately. I did a short WOT test in third gear last night. I forgot to drop it in drive but I didnt stay in it for long anyway because I was exiting. I got an O2 reading of 785 with .2 KR.  And, for the record, my car isn't as impressive pulling in 3rd gear as it is 1st and 2nd. Feels like it wants to rip my head off in 1st in 2nd. Lol.  Im guessing it's because Im not making the power that YOU guys are making huh?   Just thought I'd share.

[Steve Wood]

third gear does not offer the gear multiplication of first and second plus it takes a lot more hp to push the car thru the air the faster it is going.

You might add two numbers to the wot programming for a little more insurance.

How much boost was it showing?

[phil_long]

i think 15? i only glanced.  I'll check again. first gear its running super rich

[Steve Wood]

850?

[phil_long]

850?

Somewhere around there.  last i checked it was 867, but im assuming it was due to it being cooler outside? Idk man. These cars are weird.  Lol.

[phil_long]

But please note that I never stay in it.  Lol.  Maybe that could be the issue?  Maybe it would spike that high and then fall??

[phil_long]

Im thinking maybe one you gents on here can come to St. Louis and get her together.  She runs great, but tuning 101 is in effect.

[Steve Wood]

Okay, the factory o2 is totally non linear, but, that qualifies for super rich....

If the fuel pressure is at 43 with the hose removed from the regulator, I would suggest going to the Translator and see if it is set as per the instructions.  If it is, adjust the maf base knob to the lean setting for the size translator you have installed.

That means if you have a 3" diameter maf sensor, it should be set on position 3 on the maf base knob.  Change it to position 5 which is leaner

Now, for the 3" sensor, the maf wot setting knob should be set on pos 0.  Change it to pos 3.  that makes it richer to make up for making everything leaner on the new maf base setting.

Dipswitches should be on, on, on, off for a TT chip

If you have a 3.5" maf, or the two knobs were different to what I assumed above, let me know

[phil_long]

I'll check the translator settings when i get home.

Side note: this punk A** GTO was driving next to me last night.  Loud exhaust that was popping when he wasnt under acceleration(weird and annoying).  It was the 6.0 version(no way im racing this dude). I know im still in the process of tuning and getting the car running to the point that I wont be scared of nobody. I know i cant win em all, but the confidence I have at the stop light i want on the highway from 60 mph. 

[Steve Wood]

you should probably be able to beat him
