i have HR 270cc injectors...30 psi at idle...using a wideband to tune...while boosting on 3rd gear the wideband reads 13.xx...i know the safe reading is below 12.xx...

yeah..i also have vortech sfmu..but i'm not sure how to work it...i'm boosting at about 6psi...it starts to lean out at about 4500-5000 rpm...

Does it stay lean through your whole 3rd gear pull or does it richen up after a little while. On my car I am using a 12:1 Vortech FMU and when I hit 3rd gear, it leans out for a few seconds on my narrow-band gauge, but then richens up. What type of fuel pressures are you seeing at 6 psi?

i'm using a cartech fmu...i also have a vortech sfmu but like i mentioned i don't know that works...so i put that aside and not using it until i get some help on how it works...maybe you can tell me...how did you hook the vortech sfmu...could you send me some pix (if you have any of your sfmu setup)...and about the problem that i have...when i hit 3rd gear my wideband reads a steady 13.xx...on 2nd gear it reads 11.xx...
