[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10552539, member: 11681"] I would say this is the key critical parameters to watch, not sure I would use the same order, order is not that critical with these gauges, they are close together so you pretty much see two at once. [B]Before EVER using WOT, you should ALWAYS know what your ECT is, [/B]many engines have been trashed by not paying attention to how hot the ECT has gotten. Hitting it cold and hitting it hot are both bad. For any second pulls add a [B]look at the IAT2s[/B] they will go up and come back down [B]if you are rolling[/B], if they don't, you have a problem. [B]Voltage[/B] is great idea too, as a general keep an eye on it thing..... [B]for obvious reasons.[/B] I'm not sure if I would bother to watch fuel or even a wide band. Things happen so fast, I don't think we would be able to react quick enough. If your fuel system is not designed with a reasonable amount of over delivery capacity you have built it wrong. Because air temperature and the resulting density changes can alter greatly your fuel requirements, you should design your fuel delivery mods around the conditions that would require the most fuel demands. You should be able to deliver enough fuel for 10 degrees colder than your area will ever see, for WOT, at about 50-100 more horsepower than your car makes. Because you just never know. If the PCM sees a condition at WOT, and asks for XX amount of fuel pressure, and it is more than your fuel system can deliver, you are going to go lean. LEAN IS BAD!:bash::burn: [/QUOTE]
