Fuel system questions
Hey guys,
So I'm going to be putting in all my fuel goodies and clutch pretty soon. I will be dyno tuned, but there's one problem. I need to drive up about an hour and a half untuned with all the new fuel stuff already installed.
Just to make sure its: pump>cartech>afpr>rail right?
Anyways, do you guys have any suggestions from experience? I'm a wee bit scared to do this and then have to drive that far.

Get a wideband and street tune, problem solved.
Besides, O2 sensors should do just fine on your way since you most likely wont be under too much engine load.
Rich is better than lean, but too rich can cause some problems (i.e interfere with lubrication) But I do not think you'll be that rich on the highway since o2 sensors take on that job and do well since they monitor the exhaust gases exiting, and do not rely on calibrated air volume the engine (MAF reading) entering.

Decent. Thanks for the info man.
Now for an opinion.
I can either
1. Not install my fuel goodies right now and instead motor mounts and get a decent clutch for when I'm supercharged (meaning no tuning, until I'm supercharged).
2. Motor mounts, pop in fuel and tune. Which would push back clutch then supercharger.
