    Not the best day at the track. Looks like we have a wideband going out on us. Breaking up bad before the 1/8 and 60' was off from the previous weekend. We have scheduled dyno time after Xmas.

    aren't you running the holley guage and sensor, surely the gauge is ok right?

    The gauge only reads what the wideband tells it. If the wb is bad the gauge readings don't mean anything. You can tell from the fuel/correction tables. It is calling for over 100% correction at 8psi and 864lb/hr fuel at 5250 rpm. Also the car is calling for too much fuel at idle to get the desired a/f ratio. I understand e85 burns more, just not that drastic.

    Same exact thing mine was doing when my injectors were full of trash. Just something to think about.

    What wideband sensor do you have Anthony? That's what I went through ALL summer with mine but I didn't know what was going on, just seemed weird to have the O2 go out after 2 passes, that was the day that I met you when you asked where I got my turbo. My afr's looked great in the datalogs but the system flow over 1700 lbs/hr on that last pass. On all the Google searches I did, I came buy where some say a bad batch of Bosch Holley O2's went out for a period. Since I wasn't 100% sure it was the O2, I just bought another Bosch. Now that I know that was the issue, I will be getting an NTK this winter and keep this new Bosch as a spare... D. Miles

    I thought about getting the ntk but heard that people were having problems with them also. And with the high moisture output with e85 I heard water will kill the ntk just as fast as the Bosch. After switching have you driven enough to see if it helped with the different sensor?

    I heard the ntk was the best one for boosted apps!

    I was having issues with my o2 correction on Friday also Anthony. Had a new Bosch and it was still f'ed up.

    It was working on the dyno but Frank's innovate with NTK was showing different numbers.

    I am going to have to do something also.

    Remember, it isn't about the sensor only, it is about the driver in the ems.

    Maybe there was radioactive waste in the air, Atco is in the middle if no man's land.

    I think I am going to get the ntk and get a spare Bosch one to keep in the trailer. Going to send the injectors out to get cleaned and go from there. I'm just looking for a reason to switch to the billet atomizers, this may be it. Thanks for the info guys, I really appreciate it. Dennis felt the wideband was going and now hearing these stories I am confident we are looking in the right direction.

    Lol, there could have been. Car kept falling off every pass and sooner each pass. Thought it was ignition related but it is fuel related. A/F dipped to 6.8 on the one pass and that is where it started going crazy.
