nice!!!! so you switched the O2s and the readings are switched too? Now you need to figure out which O2 is bad .

Yup , took your advice and switched them , the yellow one now is a carbon copy of the blue one from the old tunes .

Im pretty sure evilive uses the 1st o2 eg. bank #1, 02 #1 would be the drivers side front. Bank #1 o2 #2 is pass side front. . . . I dont think it does anything with the back ones ??? Anyone now for sure ??

Id like to replace em both roy but there big $$$ .

Also I haveto check my fuel pressure regulator or leaks . . . any ideas on the best way to go about this ??

Yep, if knock sensor keeps showing knock PCM will pull timing, if knock isn't gone it'll keep puling timing until it hits the MINIMUM timing table in your tune, ohh wait I already PM'ed you that, ohh well an extra post glad to hear it fixed your problem.

If you bring a video camera ill bring the car in for warranty . . . . . . I can see it now on the hoist with a half dozen techs looking at it going . . . " what the **** ??? "

I think it was probably fine unill the car started missfiring with the crazy *** timing. . . .it probably ate som raw gas .

Yup you called it !! Im still only getting 20 - 22 degrees WOT . Its hella better but not what it needs to be just yet.

Any ideas on how to check my fuel pressure regulator ??

You are probably still in the low octane table. You can get out by letting the tank go near empty then filling up. resetting the PCM might help... you probably already did this though.

I cant wait to feel the high octain table, just getting the air fuel ratio back in check and getting this much timing back feels like I picked up 50 rwhp and way way more over 5500 rpm . . . . shes a mean bitch again. I betcha I was down to like 290 rwhp it was running the bag

How does that fill up **** work ?? Do you have to fill it right up ?? Why do you have to go almost empty first ?? Stupid pcm i need to reprogram from scratch . . . . when I get a tuner Im copying the high timing tables right overtop the low timing tables how u like them apples

Yes go to almost empty & fill her up as suggested, or try resetting the PCM. Also, according to your airflow readings you are in the 400rwhp range? well atleast your sucking enough air to have that much power, this isn't 100% accurate but gives you an idea of how much air your engine is sucking & its sucking a ton of air, enough to make over 400rwhp.

400 RWHP eh? My guess is that he is probably around the 380-385 mark.

Good to see you got things on the right track Dave. Now get some AFR heads will ya.

Actually, a 25 % tank fillup up is apparently good enough to resxet things, from what I hear.

Glad to hear things are better.
