but yea it hasnt felt this strong to me in a long time, i think is the cold weather, acceleration feels orgasmic, i just need to fix an exhaust leak on my o2 housing to the manifold and im hitting the dyno im not gonna let this cool weather pass without me getting some numbers. cant wait til the sst, just waiting on my tax return, and started a 2nd job today, all for ptp parts.
you ment 80% meth? im gonna try and see if i can find straigth meth then cut it, i hear it works better than the yellow heet.

Yes 80% meth. Straight meth and then cutting it is the best way to go.
Is it normal for the FTM to report lower boost than what's on the boost guage? Ever since I had the FTM installed it's usually about 2-3 lbs lower than what I see on the boost guage. I thought it might be a bad guage, but it was quite normal showing 15lbs max boost at stage 0 and 18psi max with Stage 2, and it rests right at zero with the car off.

Mechanical readings vs electronic as always different, its the nature of the beast.
Well the FTM is getting it's reading directly from the MAP sensor, while the gauge is getting it's reading from a vac. line. I would think the FTM would be more accurate.

Which one would be more accurate? The FTM reading or the guage reading?
You also have to remember that the MAP sensor has to take atmospheric (sp) pressure into account as well. Electronic signals always have an advantage over mechanical but there will always be something that could change the signal electronicly. Just as long as you are within 2 psi you should be good to go.
I'm going to add the FPR mod tomorrow, which will add a ton of fuel to the Stage 2 injectors I have already.
There's a global clamp value on the top right of the screen (default is 5.00), what exactly does this do and when should it be used? I know the long bar on the left side is a global fuel pull, but was just curious on the global clamp feature and when it should be used.
Tomorrow, I expect a TON of extra fuel in the low end, while it leans out in the high end. (E1 turbo set to 22-23lbs of boost).

That global Clamp value is for your map sensor. If you are a Stage 0 or Stage 1 car your map sensor is only a 2 bar map sensor and only reads manifold prssure up to about 18 psi. Anything over that and it pulls timing and runs like crap.
I run my car at 23 spike falling to 18 to hold and I have my FTM clamped at 4.82 V. Meaning my map sensor will only read 17 psi even though the car is spiking 23 and holding 18. If you are Stage 2 or 3 you have 3 bar map sensors and can read a higher psi at the map sensor.
Hey quick question which Wideband do you recommend for the FTM when V2 comes out I am thinking about buying it because I need to get one anyway and i might as well get it while I am waiting for FTM v2

quick question on the ftm my friend has it on his 04 with stg2 ecu 750 cc deatch works injectors a return line walbro on his 50 trim the poblem is his idle sucks! it stays really lean and spikes rich ocasionally and studders im not that famillar with this unit what do i need to check for on his car? we data logged and the afr is great when driving and at wot couldnt ask for a better afr just a horrible idle also he has the vacum line on regulator for the return hooked to the nipple on hard pipe any info would help on this
Thanks
Josh

Well let me ask you a question about his set up. Where is his down stream O2 sensor? Is it in the exhaust or zip tied under the car somewhere?
