Once the ECU settles, I'll start playing with the vafc2. I haven't really gone that rich since the addition of headers. Still in the 12s. I know its not rich because its not regurgitating between shifts

Cattman is less than 2 1/4 collectors going to a 2.5".

I think it's 1 and 7/8s each bank and then going to a 2.5" OD collector (similar to my OBXs)

Dunno where you guys are getting these measurements from.

What you want is 2x 2.25" going to a 3", at the bare minimum.

The z crowd is running w/ dual 2.5"s going to 3.5"s, those seem to be the highest N/A cars.

Cattman Primary pipes: 1 1/2"
Cattman Primary Collectors: 2 1/4"
Cattman Secondary pipes: 2 1/4"
Cattman Ypipe collector: 2 1/2"
I'm not sure where you got your Measure Action Jackson......

12.5-12.8 is perfect for N/a!

When I drove this morning I got high 13 afr. That means my afr got leaner after installing headers. Added some fuel to the vafc2 this afternoon and its sitting high 12s then 13 to redline. I think my timing is now fubered from adding too much fuel, time for bigger fuel injectors than 350z's.

Edit: I need to check for air leaks...seems fishy to me

Is it reasonable to simply increase fuel pressure to 350Z/G35 pressure (3.5 bar)
