Default Do I need a AFPR?

Had a chance to dyno my 93 a couple of times the last month after a few mods and generally was pleased with the results. The first dyno was with a TPIS air filter, open lid, and a DRM prom and pulled 267rwhp. Yesterday, after installing a Corsa exhaust, it pulled 275rwhp. It was noted however, that my AF ratio was 11.5/1 each time. We think that leaning the fuel out will give us a few more ponies. Should I try an AFPR or should I send the prom back to DRM and have the fuel map changed?

The advantage of the AFPR is that you can vary the fuel flow while on the dyno to nail it down.

Can you tell us the Block Learn while at idle. The chip may be a little aggresive with the gas, the 02 sensor will correct. At WOT, the fuel pressure can be adjusted, in this case, downward.

Good luck with your tuning. Using a dyno is the smart way to go. No witchcraft.

Sorry can't tell you what the block learn is, but I did talk to someone at DRM today and they will adjust the fuel for me at no charge! Thanks for the tip on how to use the AFPR
