This is a comparison between Mike's tune and the Cobb OTS Stage 2 tune. Have to admit I'm a bit curious what it would get on a Dynojet for comparison's sake, but I'm more than happy with how the car feels.

Here is the Protune by itself.

And the A/F ratios during the tune. Interesting to note that the AP hasn't reported anything richer than 11.1 since I've been driving it. I have been seeing 19-20psi on the AP as well, which seems like it should be fine.

The accessport can only read off the narrowband not the A/F of the wideband. It'll never display anything below 11.1. If your accessport ever reports anything above 11.1 you're running dangerously lean. The only real way to monitor your air fuel ratio correctly is to install a A/F gauge if your downpipe has a bung or weld one.

Last night driving home my Batt and Brake light turned on on the Fozzy. Then the steering got heavy (no power assist).

Figured the belt broke, and looked at this morning.

Went to Winchester AP this morning and replaced both serpentine belts with Goodyear Gatorbacks.

Oh man that sucks, but - I have used a welding vice-grip to straighten that out in the past. Best bet is to have a body shop fix/seam weld it but you can bend it back until then at least.

Again this is why my car only goes to one shop.

Go to a rental place like AAA and rent an ozone generator for a day and just leave it in your car overnight.
