Walbros aren’t junk. If they flow the fuel you need, they are fine.

High IDC is not a good thing either.

So you are tuning, the car is misfiring, fuel pressure issue, you’re in the passenger’s seat, and you decide to race? Interesting course of events.

what about o2 sensors, i know the ls1 always has problems with them, especially after modding, just another thing you should check over

O2 sensors should not affect WOT AFR. Just a FYI.

you sure ur not flooding it out? too much fuel can (and will) cause it to break up badly (ask me how i know)… haha… check the gap on all your plugs and make sure they are gapped down tight so ur not getting spark blow out under boost as well… the fuel filter im sure was a contributing issue but you still may have a pump concern as well. im down to help whenever… john on the other hand is outta commission til thurs as hes watching his son tomorrow i believe.

Fuel injector cleaner? Seriously?

Anyhow, always good to replace the fuel filter which is often missed. How did the screen look?

you know, i hadnt really thought about this til now but are you running on straight pump gas or are you using the water/meth?.. i wonder if you might have an off mix of your water meth or a clogged nozzle causing an issue there if ur spraying… just something to consider as well.

this is straight 93 octane pump gas…my Meth is not hooked up yet…

As far as flooding it out, im more on the lean side, then on the rich…Im working on my tune right now as we speak and im richening it up a little bit more, then i will hook it up to my car in the morning and go do another WOT run and see if its even better…

as far as my spark plug gapping goes, its .028…my last plugs were NGKTR6’s gapped at .035 and these ones in now are BR7EF’s…my car was doing this with my old plugs so these plugs arent the issue…the plugs I have in now (BR7EF) are proven to be one of the best plugs for us F/I 3.8 series 2 guys, which is why I switched over…

You match up the plugs based on the power level. If your car’s tune changed dramatically, I would not re-tune. Fix the problem first. AFR can be changed by many things. Hell, even minor cases of blowout will affect your AFR. Simply using that as a guideline, you will fuck yourself fixing a non-issue.
