Re: wow, my car hates me!!!

So many things can effect the way an engine performs or even the way a dyno performs. Ambient temperature, humidity (not much in MA lately). BTW, how much oil did you put on your filter? Usually when the engine runs rich, the O2's suffer from problems. Also, I don't see where you removed the cats. Running rich with cats is a big problem.

well the o2's were replaced with all the other stuff and the cats have been removed. i think alot of the problem was the car was sittin out side of the shop for 3 hours while they dyno tuned a sts gto. it was only around 30 out today so im sure the extreme cold wasnt helping.
