Nice..... I know when I would drive my honda crx in california people would mess with me on the freeway until they saw my shift light illuminate the inside of my car. (This was at midnight heading to the races.) It may be small but its how you use it.. LOL

My newest additions to the 55 should be arriving tomorrow. ;)

It's a wide band O2 sensor system and auxiliary box, I will be able to record O2 readings and 5 other engine and performance parameters for up to 44 minutes, then download all the data onto a laptop to analyze on the included software. Yay data! No more "guessing" at carb jetting :dance:

14.75? is a good air fuel ratio??

I love that stuff??

need to make a Triangle header Flange adapter that can be moved from car to car - to add to your arsenal of tuning abilities for your custom-omers...

Innovate makes a nice tail pipe adapter I will probably pick up for use on customers' cars:

Someone else sells an adapter like you mention to go between the header and the muffler. I may pick one of those up too.

For power usually you want around 12.5-13:1 AFR, as a ball park. At cruise though you can tune it to right around 14.7:1 (stoichiometric) for great fuel economy.

My vision for my car from day one has been to have an old school look but then under the skin to be filled with hi-tech. This is just one of the first steps. Next is fuel injection, then crank-triggered ignition, then turbo, then air-water intercooling. I really like the high tech stuff and the power and tunability that can be achieved, but I love the old school hot rod look, clean and simple...
