xxxavier2k Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 Has anyone ever played around with the spring tension on the vane AFM (air flow meter) to try to change enrich the air/fuel ratio? I've heard that this works well with CAI or free flowing y-pipes or exhaust systems

Be careflu you dont fry your cats, too much fuel and the unburned fuel wil go into your cats and burn there, disentegrating them, too little fuel and your engine wont run right.
andrecat112 Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 if you have CAI, is it necessary to have a air/fuel computer such as AEM?

But if you're looking a few more horses then fuel and ignition management will help. I'm going for the AFM mod when i complete my cai installation.
SKperformance Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 You want an easy mod to get mroe power ,since i doubt you have emmision tests in ST.kitt's get a small sheet of metal and an exhaust gasket then sandwich it in the return line for the egr. An easy gain of 5-8 hp you will lose a bit of fuel milage though

What do think about a custom y-pipe with a tuned collector though?
