Get it tuned before you go. If there is any problems air boy will fined them during the tuning process.

If you're going to run into any issues, it will probably be on the dyno, not the road afterwards.
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

negative- i fooled myself into thinking it was off, just to realize once i could get my hands down there that it extended further than i thought.

When you saw 100% injector duty before, was it "Injector Duty Cycle" or "Fuel Pump Duty"?

Gain 50 ft-lbs, ask me how! :-)

Injector duty cycle, i only got it on one log like that, the previous log and the log after peaked around 84 if i remember, but all logs showed afr in the 20s

Did the plugs and packs last week, the plugs were really white, also replaced the rear o2.

Did you get a look at the car today?

When I checked it today, IDC was <30%, with the MAF readings ~80g/s, when it should be much higher.  The MAF sensor is damaged.

Should i grab one from auto value tomorrow and bring it in or do you have one at the shop? I didnt get a call today so i assume its still in the shop

Don't get MAF from part stores. You need the oem/denso unit. I verified with my spare MAF.

That's what I took away, is that he put on a good MAF, and things got better.
