Got my AFR gauge installed and I got the pillar pods installed. Now I can see what is happening with the engine. I'm surprised at how much the gauge bounces around while cruising around.

I also put fuel cleaner in my car yesterday, see if that helps.

$240 for the wideband gauge, $85 for the boost mechanical gauge, both cobalts. Looked that the Aeroforce Interceptors, but I have the torque app for information like that. Plus analog looks cooler.

Its an Autometer dual pillar, the old one pops off, this one pops back in. Its pretty easy, just sucked installing it in 95℉ in a garage with no air circulating.

$88 from JEGS. Could have gotten a little cheaper but they offer free shipping. I bought the boost gauge from Amazon because I did the prime membership and had free 2 day shipping.

AFR was 10 till 5k rpm's, then went to 11. Car feels stronger now, like my fuel injectors were clogged. Might have gotten dirty gas from the race track. Will keep seeing how it is.

AT WOT shouldn't AFR be more like upper 11s?

I guess after the computer is done learning (battery was disconnected last night installing the gauge) I will record what is happening, see if I can get the tune right. AFR gauge is well worth the money though.

Going to wait a few more days, but so far the bottle of Techron seems to have fixed the misfire issues. It went from 5 or so misfires down to 1 at WOT in boost and I've only gone through 1/4 of a tank. Going to run this tank out and run it through again to make sure I have the fuel injectors cleaned. Car feels a lot better now, but I'm still running 10 AFR till 5k RPM, then goes up to 11 AFR. I e-mailed IPF about what AFR I should be running, but no answer yet.
