Thanks for the info, but I'm pretty satisfied knowing that my engine is recieving a sufficient amount of fuel it needs in order to work on a daily basis...
I'm not looking for TUNING my car for max power, I'd rather save my money than spend another $500 or so bucks on a HEADACHE...
If the gauge reads "10" then, regardless of the actual A/F ratio, it is still below the Accurate operating threshold of the NB sensor, which according to your website link, is approx 14-15, which means that the engine is recieving enough fuel, albeit not the correct amount for MAX POWER...
So your quote about saving for a new motor is entirely wrong, because aside from pre-detonation and knock, more fuel will not hurt it...
Also, I noticed plenty of threads on here about how Uberdata and such things are difficult to tune, and after they think they have it tuned, it acts up again... I don't want a headache, i just wan't a semi-reliable KIT...
I live in PA, and I've asked about so called "tuners" in this area, but everyone around here are idiots, I know way more than any shop around here...
They are all audio-bullshit stores, they'll sell u an intake and maybe put it on wrong, LOL.
