Hello!

do you plan on doing more? you could install it, i have one. very simple install.

It doesn't do all that much anyhow, it's mostly for looks. I happen to like mine.

ryans right, it dosnt do much. the stock o2 sensor only can read a very small amount compaired to a wide band. so if you like the look, install it.

I think it is the Forbiden Short Shifter, it looks like a shifter for the civic.

Need help !
Well, on Monday I installed a Air/Fuel Ratio from Autometer. I passed all the week understanding how it works and I noticed when running on the street when accelerating (WOT) the meter goes to 1green led (Rich) followed by 2 yellow led (stoich) so I guessed that was normal. Until today, I went to the 1/8 mile and after running several times I notice when accelerating (WOT) from 1000 RPM through 4k the meter goes to 1green led (Rich) followed by 2 yellow led (stoich) like in the street BUT when going 4k through 6500 RPM it goes aaaaaaallllllll the way down to lean until reaching 1 red led and then disappearing so, at higher RPMs the mixture becomes BAD!
What can I do?
Is that very bad?

I told my mechanic and he told me to try moving the screw that is on top of the throttle body, he told me that screw controls the amount of air going in so that I need to close it a little bit, because he opened a lot. Would that fix it?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
