Who has the Motorsport Innovations LC-1 wideband on their car? I have the XD-1 kit with the LC-1 wideband and I'm curious how you are tuning the car with it. My car seems to run in the 14's when I'm crusing. That seems normal since I'd want the best possible gas milage when cruising. Whenever I give it about 50% throttle or more it drops down into the 12.2-13 range and stays there all the way up. I've seen a few dips into the high 11's but normally it is at 12.6 all the way up. Are lean spikes between shifting normal? I would assume they are but it can't hurt to ask. Thanks, Chris Here is a snap shot of the kit I picked up I found online: http://www.motorsportsinnovations.com/wb-785.jpg

Yes, lean spikes at shifts are normal for a manual trans. When you're coming out of the throttle, your fuel and spark are effectively shut off so all you'll have will be inlet air moving through.
I'll put holes in him!!

Yeah, that sounds normal as the engine will go rich then lean after the throttle snaps shut.
I was running and LC-1 in the car.
