Another S/C'd member worried about his AFR

KK,

I too would have preferred that this was a pure bolt-on kit but I guess the word tuning must be an analogy to dialing in a radio to get the absolute best performance. While I still have this wild hair up my wazoo, I'm going to research this with consultation from my dyno guy. Believe me, Google and I are good friends.

No offense to your post but I need published numbers now for how our little car was spec'd. I've posted a request for information in the Performance thread. Anybody who can dig up published information is welcome to post it in that thread.

I have access to some of those things you mentioned. Time is tight so it takes me longer to get around to it. (it took me four months to get my gauges all hooked up)

So, have patience. If you see a Blazing Blue AT LB cream your time on YOUR autox course, ask the driver about his fuel system mods. Then refer him to me.

You asked for opinions of other s/c owners, just my 2 cents. I dunno... I guess if I thought hp was the only route to autocross "victory" I'd have chosen a different car... for now I plan to focus on tightening the loose nut behind the wheel . But for me it's all just for fun anyway, and for now I've pretty much had all the "fun" tinkering with the car I care for.

As you were saying yourself just the other day, I'm not eager to be the first to blow up my motor, but who knows, in time I may change my tune too (literally, lol). Besides, when I bought the Blitz kit I was told I could expect up to an additional 30 hp: you are getting 27 hp; if I see similar results from this (relatively) stable and trouble-free upgrade I'll happily say I got a fair shake from Blitz. But as I said, I'll be very interested to see everyone's results with experiments, and sincerely wish everyone the best of luck

I assume you've been doing some reading around on scionlife too, since they have been using the same engine for longer and therefore are further ahead in their projects. It's tough to sort out the info from the asshattery at times, but good info to be had there.
