nope. the valves open and close the same if the tranny is in gear or not, also in actual driving conditions they'll open and close slower than revving the engine in neutral, even with nitrous.

as stated EGT or fuel pressure are the only two really usefull gauges..

and PLEASE... dont tell me that the little dancing leds tell you anything.. they dont.. (no offense of course)



i think air fuel gauge is only a joke if the car is nearly stock and naturally aspirated...but if its forced induction then don't you think its important to know if the car is running lean or rich under full throttle??:confused:

You use exhaust temp to find out the same thing - the hotter your exhaust temp, the more lean you are runnin. Air2fuel ratio is dumb because its innacurate - a ricer gague.

AZ/OC are right...

Cashslick/Shaved... are wrong.

I'm not going to bother with much more than that...

If you really want to know A/F make your own wideband O2 sensor... it'd cost like 150-200 bucks...

I wanted to make a couple of them a while back but didn't have the money...

here's a link if anyone is interested... (you have to solder a circuit board so it's not for everyone... I think they have a breadboard version that should be easier for those without real good soldering skills.)...

awesome link :thumbsup:

I might be interested in that as well...though for almost 1/2 price you can get an egt which serves a similar function...though you gotta put holes in things......

nonovurbizniz 11-10-2003 11:36 PM

You have to weld in another o2 bung for the wideband o2...

but imo it's WELL worth it... if you're going turbo or even nitrous it give you the EXACT lambda number you're at... that's basically priceless....

that's why NOONE but them sells anything like it for under 6-800 bucks.
