Going back to stock.
Just to let ya'll know. I'm returning my car back to stock. I loved the whole modding experience and the great deal of information I learned in the process but I want to put it back the way she came. No more worries about being too lean or too rich, having the O2's near .89 at WOT, just start it and drive :D is my motto now 
. I'll be selling all my stuff (mods) on the forum in a few weeks so ya'll can have first dibs on it. It's been a great learning process and a whole lot of fun!

C5Noir... Sometimes less is more... I have a couple of basic bolt-ons that give me an "edge" over stock. They were easy and cheap and don't cause headaches. The C5 comes stock with descent power, ride and handling. This is my first car that I don't feel I need to over-mod to enjoy..
I'm also getting old :cry

Re: Going back to stock. (C5~Missle)
How far did you get with your mods? The last time I communicated with you was when you installed the Magic Box. Didn't that work for you? I purchased the MB but found that I was better off with a MAFT. I haven't had to make many adjustments once I finally got it to where I was happy with it. I also removed the Granatelli and went to stock with no screen and the Halltech ends. This gave me a difinite SOTP boost.

Say it ain't so :nonod: May your mods rest in peace (or pieces as the case may be). I too was having trouble with the car running lean, and rich at wot. I got a MAFT, works great now. Good luck, our cars can still blow away 95% of the cars on the road stock.
