7M hit 18psi with stock AFM and still very rich...

It should run lean with a lex and stock injectors...

Edited. I wasn't trying to be an ass. We already knew that it should be lean.

 

[IHI-RHC7]

No worries
Anything new found?

 

[suprafanatic]

lol, nothing new found yet the radiator just sprung a leak on me.. i got some leak fixer stuff that you pour in the rad. see if that fixes it... anyway when im in 5th gear and i boost, it will build up to 18psi and it holds it for a while then it slowly drops to around 12-13. now in lower gears it will boost to like 15-16 then drop to around 10-11psi.. on the dyno however the guy running the car said it went up to 15 then droped to 7. that was in 3rd gear... and i 'v never seen it drop that low before,, i found that wierd. but at that 7 pounds it dyno'd 288hp and 321ft. lbs. which isn't to bad. whish it would have held at 15 .. also without the SAFC II my car would be very rich at 18psi. i have it tuned to around a 12 on the wideband

Oh no..That radiator stop leak is not good stuff. Not very friendly to your entire cooling circuit, like the small coolant passages.

 

[IHI-RHC7]

yeah, bad stuff.

I'm had good luck with the block sealant though. You drain the entire system, flush ALL coolant out of the system, then mix this stuff in, let it cure for 24 hours, flush ALL the block sealant out, and then refill..

When decent replacement radiators are around a $100.00 why screw around with stop leak crap?! You made baby jesus cry. :nono:

Hell, for $200+, get an aluminum 2 row core radiator.

I hate jb weld, but it surprises me everytime I see a patched radiator hold... just saying.

keep in ind that those guys didnt really know what they were doing and had practically zero load on the dyno. From what I hear, it was the equivalent of driving downhill on an 80 degree incline... hence why all the low numbers on the turbo cars.

 

[suprafanatic]

guess i'll have to wait till we get to chicago to see what my real numbers are.

Yeah, you better learn how to launch in between now and then, too. Everyone called you and that MkIV dyno queens
