My bottle was low combined with rich jetting and track temp and poof ,, about 700 bucks worth of stuff was toast at 3/4 track in the blink of an eye ,, not to mention it scared the hell out of me when it backfired at 100+ mph ,, hehe
Oh yeah puddling sucks, I am not a huge fan of spraying fuel through the intake though. I like to tune for a dry kit spraying through my maf and using larger injectors. Something a wideband is very useful in helping with. I am going to use a direct port on my fast though when I get it back from being ported for my new 402 though. I love the feel of a direct port punch. I will prob still have a single dry stage though through the intake before the maf unless I go SD which is so hard to do here in the south though since temps fluctuate so much.

My jet settings change from 62/31 to as low as 62/22 for a 150 shot depending on the time of year and humidity levels here in fla .

Spraying one kit then the other , adjustments had to be made because 62/28 and 62/28 is about 10.00 on the wideband so i watch each kit when fired and ended up with 62/26 + 62/22 and that put me at 11.8 a/f at 85-90 degrees .

I love my wide band
