Nice results! For comparison. Disclaimer not my car! but a Z06 with
2300 Maggy, 2 inch headers, intake, tuned on pump gas still needs the bigger TB as far as I know again not my car.
I run the M&M can too it is a must! right lane

Did you mess with the lazy 4-5 shift? I put 26" Hoosier DR's on mine to get it into 5th sooner. It did help but it seems like there is more there? Thoughts.

Curious if anyone else has documented the cars running rich at higher speeds, if someone has an wideband 02/afr sensor in the exhaust with a real time display or logs, check out your tall gear afr's.

The ambient baro sensor being in the maf inside the intake tube is receiving extra pressure at higher speeds, and it is tweaking the afr rich at high speed. Not sure if this is what you are referring to, but figured I would point it out.

Breaking out the baro from the maf is the solution.

Its the lack of power is why you feel the car slow down in 5th.Bigger blower would pull through it easier.

After 74 mph my car commands 10.45 AFR. I assumed it was Cat over temp or some fuel adder related to IAT temp. I’ll have to try this.

Thanks. Do you know if leaving active handling on hurts the times?

COT is real, but we believe the 2 problems stack and compound. It is something to be aware of and keep your eyes open in the taller gears as you examine your AFR's
