I am dying to make more power from my '97 RL. So after upgrading my air intake, and planning for a custom exaust (dyno tuned), the only other logical thing I have come across (for cheap) is an air/fuel converter. So I bought one.

This unit is a "piggy-back" computer that overrides the stock computer's airflow measurement based on monitoring throttle and RPM signals. The best thing about this unit is it varies the compensation for different loads (throttle positions) and in 1000 RPM incriments from idol to red line. When tuned using the proper equipment (dyno, etc.) by a qualified tuner (hard to find), I expect to see an increase of 8 - 10 horsepower - realistic guess.

Basically, by remapping my air/fuel mixture, I expect to gain power simply by the increase in efficiency.

When my tuner gets back from One Lap of America, the RL will be put on the dyno and sensors will be shoved in every orophus. My RL will be bending over to give a few good coughs...

POINT BEING...

I am sticking my neck out and (as far as I know) am going to be the first person to install this unit in an RL. Once installed, other RL owners may purchase this unit, and I will be more than willing to share my tuning specs. I'll be posting my before & after dyno print outs so you can see the results.

I may have to upgrade my injectors so I can dump more fuel on the fire. We'll see.

ANYWAY, I just purchased the unit, and will be tuning about May 14, 03. It should be finished by May 16. I'll post the info then (after a few tanks of fuel and maybe a few speeding tickets).

I would love to hear any insight into my project.

Thx
