so, let me get this straight, are the dynos on the first page done with a sniffer? if so that would be a very misleading a/f ratio.

a sniffer? whats that?

***"Ridge"Racer*** · 01-25-2008, 11:16 AM

instead of taking an a/f reading from the 02 sensor, they use a sniffer on the exhaust and measure that way, not the most accurate way to do it.

there shouldn't be that much of a difference between the two (not dangerously different) being that most places use the sniffer type (although, the o2 method would be more accurate).
