#75715, "Running rich, cannot figure out problem!"
I am running intank fuel pump, inline fuel pump, sfmu,42lb green top injectors. I am using the 2.72 disk and my idle pressure is around 20, sometimes the pressure goes up to around 23 and it may sometimes go to around 17. My inaccurate a/f gauge reads in the green when first turning on car, and when i go wot it goes all the way to the last green on the gauge. I thought for 42lb injectors, the 2.72 disk is good. The 02 sensor is fairly new, the spark plugs gapped to 0.035 are a new also. Any suggestion or help is appreciated. I have enough problems trying to find my boost leak. Thanks in advance

I do not have the restrictor in the vacuum line. I wish i did know my afr, i do not have a wideband, yet, and the closest dyno is about 2 hours away. My boost is hitting 16-17, but drops off to around 13. I do not mind running rich, but i dont like running to rich that every time i start off in first or normal driving and go wot, a cloud of black smoke comes shooting out. I think i am starting to see some whit smoke, but am not sure yet. I just noticed it tonight so i will check it out tomorrow. I still have to get my timing right, water pump installed, and check my oil for any coolant in it. Could i use the 2.42 disk, i can try and tune it myself, but dont want to install without knowing if it will mess anything up by not suppling enough fuel.

It's a good thing? Wow... I didn't know that. HEY EVERYBODY! TUNE YOUR CARS LIKE SHITFACED POLESMOKERS! IT'S A GOOD THING!
Seriously, though, if you are seeing smoke, it is improperly tuned. If you have reached the physical limits of what you have to tune, then it is time for an upgrade. If it just takes more tweaking, then tweak. There are plenty of reasons to not push raw gas through the exhaust.

Didn't you know that tuning via blinky A/F guages is entirely accurate and completely bulletproof?

I guess, if you are too much of a strokeass to know how to tune, just run more fuel. Hell, who needs injectors? Just feed from the rail as fast as the fuel pump(s) will spit it out!

I think the point was to tell you that they think that the information that James gave you was incorrect. At least the part about the black smoke.
