Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
I don't know where to start....
Please say these fools aren't, A) the ones that sold you the FI system
to start or B) the ones that put the engine together.
Basically what I am saying is they have fed you a big pile of BS.
'Their interpretation' of the mix from a machine that doesn't give mix
ratios. LOL!
Bill, where do you find these people to keep taking your money?

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
I don't know Mike. I just know they have a shop (equivilant to 8 to 10
bays?) filled with muscle cars with experience back into the 60s.
Here's the site:
http://www.superiorautomotive.com/default.htm
These people are not cheap either. Cost me 150.00 for the dyno with
Air/Fuel readings.
It appears there's no one in Southern California who can do reliable work or
I just have a knack for finding the bad ones?

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Ok, just called them up and asked about the numbers.
He told me at idle the number was .35 and at full open throttle (as much as
they pushed it) it was 4.40.
He said these numbers were on the lean side.

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Hopefully they meant 0.44 and not 4.40 otherwise your engine would go
through approximately 70 gallons of fuel in an hour while making 120HP. If
your numbers are that low, then watch the plugs after driving it for a
while. Some engines will "like" a BSFC number in the mid .40s, but most
passenger car engines usually run best at about .50 or so. My assumption
here is that the numbers they are giving you are BSFC. One thing that would
have been nice for them to do would have been to put exhaust temp probes on
each header tube coming out of the ports. This would have given you an idea
of the balance of fuel mixture between cylinders which would be a good way
to test the injectors under running conditions.
