if you do get one from a store try to get an autometer pro comp, let me know how the install goes on that. Id like to get a few more guages hooked up later.

What exactly is it doing? Are you having low load rich or high load lean problems?

yup, main problem is coming to a stop as soon as i push the clutch in it dips down real low and stalls out the car, under highway driving its fine, step on it its in the 13s on afr so its too lean

The coming to a stop and stalling problem only seems to be an issue when the engine temp is below 170 once the car is warmed up it will dip down but not stall

Since when are fpr halfass ? There really isn't much of anything else you can tune with unless you have an aftermarket computer or the ability to reflash the the stock with new fuel maps and injector duty cycles.
