You can get away with 12.0 + but you had better be on E85. Pump gas no way.
More reasons to run the liquid gold :rolling::rockon:

This is why I'm getting a new tune
- Thread starter Ande99SVT
- Start date
Hopefully everything is good, I'm sure you weren't planning on a rebuild at this point in time
Wow, I cannot believe they continued that pull. So happy I did not choose that shop when I was looking for a tuner. Good luck and hopefully they didn't torch your motor with that pull.
who is your "reputable" tuner? The first place i ever used(illinois dyno center) told me they had tunes tones of cars, and they had for that matter. But, it still doesn't mean they are very good at it. Needless to say my stock motor melted because of them. Kurgan all the way now.
I know who the tuner is that he is speaking of but I will leave that to Ande99SVT to disclose. They do seem to be tuning a lot of terminators lately but that a/f on that dyno sheet is downright scary. Ande99SVT, if for some crazy reason you do decide to go back there (I wouldn't) then watch them to make sure they are monitoring a/f at all times and cross your fingers.
The shop that dyno'd the car this time around wasn't the same one who tuned it. That' why I'm headed to this one so they can tune it. I've heard many great things about this shop and their builds so I feel confident bringing it to them.
Ande,
The chart you posted, was that wot pull done in 3rd gear or 2nd? Seems like you car has survived, hopefully there is no damage done to it. Good luck.
Cool, well may the horsepower gods be with you and good luck tomorrow. Haven't met you yet but might see you around at a local meet with WOT. :beer:
Aren't pulls in these cars in 4th?
Hah me and the WOT crew don't mix but screamingfast and I are friends. I'd love to check out your ride man.
Getting the car tuned today so let's hope for the best.
What's the news?
^x2
Umm.. IMO.. and this is IMO... as soon as the dyno operator saw the lean condition, he should have pulled his foot off the throttle. Not very good....
And a/f should be 11.7:1 range.
His a/f was not 12-13. Look close a the chart... 10 and 20 numbers on the ticks.. he was near 15:1 mid range. Unless I am just too tired after a 14hr workday and am reading it wrong.
Reading this just scares me with my mail tune. SO whats the news?!
did they read the a/f through the tailpipe. I've heard these tend to read a little leaner, so it may not have been a big enough concern for new tuner to shut it down. Maybe he should've, I'm not sure.
I'd be more worried about the multiple pulls you may have done with the spotty tune than the one pull on the dyno.
Either way, like others have said, get it cleaned up and you should be happy. Hopefully nothing got hurt.

I would do a compression and a leakdown test just to see if there is any signs of damage or issues. I had leakdown of 20% in 2 cylinders (5 and 6), the engine ran fine. It did have a slight rough idle, but most Cobras do with colder plugs.
My car still put down 601 RWHP and 584 RWTRQ on the original engine with those cylinders at 20% leakage. The issue was passed the rings. I checked the cylinders with a borescope and all looked great. So either worn rings or those cylinder were slightly out of round.
I just installed a Reman engine and installed some goodies. Will retune after I upgrade my TB and inlet to the mechanical GT500 CJSB stuff from VMP.

This was on my facebook feed, looks like OP's car but he said he wasn't taking it back there so not sure if it's his or not. :shrug:
