I currently have a "rich switch" on my dash to switch between my regular map, and another map that's about 15% richer.
I was using it for hot restarts and things like that... but I have been dialing in my MAT correction table, and I don't run super lean on restart anymore, so that will likely become my "fuel type switch" here in the very near future.
Doing timing belt/fuel pump/engine bay cleanup this weekend. I recently ripped out A/C, under hood evap stuff, and that uncovered some of my rats nest from my HID install. Moving those bits to inside the fender, also removing the passenger frame rail mounted fuel damper, and just general cleanup.
I'm falling so very, very in love with this car.

Didn't die. I honestly don't even know if it truly ran out of capacity, but I know for sure I was overwhelming it from time to time. I think it was mostly temps that would cause it: on a hot day it'd be fine, on a cool morning or evening it would miss the target afr by about .5-.8 afr too lean
target afr is 11.9-12 boost is 10.8-11.3, and VD puts me at 225ish

Crap, this isn't going to end well is it.

I can't wait, I ran E85 for a year and a half with my N/A set up already. I just switched back to 91 for the Rotrex install and to get a baseline, again for science. I have a 3 year old junkyard 99 motor with a BP5A cam...I suspect it won't last long if I go for all of it with the tuning.
They do whine a bit, but it's nothing that would stop me. If it was a street only car and I cared about noise, I'd get a DW.
