For 15k I would get a Mach 1, I love Mach's, even stock.

its behind the gas tank kinda high up there.. i replaced mine.

and im running extremely rich, not lean. at WOT, my numbers went straight down to 9 on the AF graph.....

you would have to get a dynotune to fix your problem, but you shouldn't be anywhere close to that ratio with the parts you have on your car. i don't understand why your car is dumping soooo much fuel but if this has been happening for awhile your motor is gonna bite the bullet soon enough. when you were getting dynoed, did they not suggest you get the car tuned?

well now if we're talkin about usin it for a car, lol. that changes everything. lol. i would prolly buy a used cobra. i dont like the machs too much.

Jrgunn5150 · Jan 17, 2008

The seat's, the guages, the Shaker, I love the package, it's awesome, Competition Orange, Screaming Yellow, awesome, like the old days.

xsoutherngun89x · Jan 17, 2008

i dont like the gauges, lol. but hey people have different tastes for a reason right? lol

Do you have a Fuel Pressure Regulator? you'll more than likely need one to go along with the Xcal. if your dad is paying for the build, and you can't save up to help, or it won't make it go any faster, then go on and buy the Xcal. if your dads paying and you can't be of help, might as well put your money to use where you can while you can.

i love the mach 1 seats, i think they are 10x better than the 03 cobras. my roomate has an azure blue mach 1 and it is gangster as hell, pretty much a full out race car. only thing is he has solid motor mounts so his shaker doesn't shake... :hammer:

well i dont have much money but i figured i had enough to get an xcal3.. ill be buying one anyways.

my cars dyno was terrible. i was embarrassed when i had it done. and they did say tune it but they couldn't do it right then and there cause they just threw it up there real fast.

i never went back because i started hearing bad things. and it just never happened. i just can't wait for the house to sell, i just need it to sell and i get my motor done!! ahhh it sux so bad, ive been thinking about my motor everyday for about 2 months waiting for our house to sell. but nobody buys houses generally in the winter. so i just have 2 or 3 more months to wait. i may just wait and hope the car holds out. im sure it will be fine.. i stay out of the gas for the most part. i got my car dyno'd about a year and two months ago lol. it really doesn't run bad at all. it just doesn't have power. and i know you guys are going to say i dont take care of my car and blah blah but its hard to come by 4k dollars to get my car fixed for a then 17 year old now 18.

i will have money this summer though. about 2500-3000 dollars i think. :dancing6:

TxCobrA98 · Jan 17, 2008

here, this is my dyno sheet for you guys to marvel...

maybe it drops down to 10.. not nine, i haven't looked at it in a while lol.

Schiffy · Jan 17, 2008

You should just give me your car... :banana:

xsoutherngun89x · Jan 18, 2008

we arent going to say you dont take care of youre car trey. lol. you cant help what you cany control. and dude, no need to be embarased about numbers, they dont mean that much. id be lucky to have 220 at the wheels and i still can take down a turbo civic(stock internals-low boost-bad run) lol. but yea, we all know you take care of your car man. do an oil change and put some castrol high maileage oil in it. might help with the leaking

Jrgunn5150 · Jan 18, 2008

Well, as soon as it goes WOT, which means closed loop, relying on tune only not O2's, the a/f goes all wonky. That is really wierd for sure, maybe you should try restting the ECU, although I lack experience in tuning to say what's really happening there. We do have a new member, Snakemark8 or something like that, who burns custom chips, I will direct him to this thread and see what he say's.
