[QUOTE="rsilver, post: 6636759, member: 13810"] Hi guys. I took my stock 04 vert for some base line dyno runs. I have used this dyno shop for many years on some of my other cars. We were all blown away with two runs that ranged from 462hp to 463hp. Other than installing a K&N CAI and a Ford racing exhaust #5230-M58 this car is stock. I read on this board that the K&N could lean out WOT AFR so I had a bung welded in the Stock exhaust about 6 inches from the exhaust manifold and checked the AFR with my LM-1 Before the CAI install several years ago. I was in the high 11.8-12.0 AFR range totally stock. After installing the CAI the AFR was in the 12.3-12.4 range. I never checked AFR after I put on the Ford racing exhaust. ( guess I should have) When we did these pulls with both mods the AFR at the TAIL PIPE pipe was consistently over 13 mostly in the 13.2 range....... S****, f*** so we stopped. I wasn't worried about AFR with these mods so I didn't bother to weld in a bung and we just used a tail pipe sensor. I read on this board that safe AFR is around 12. So, am I getting these HP numbers cause I am way lean? Is a tail pipe sensor really a good guide? It seems to me that they usually are lean after the cats. I want to make sure I am getting correct AFR # so I am going to weld in a bung for the dyno sensor (Horriba?) and re check. I am amazed that these mods could change AFR that much on the stock tune, but I would sure like your comments. these HP numbers are too good to be true and I bet its because of an extremely lean condition. Thank you all for any ideas you have..............bob [/QUOTE]
