fine fine fine, 4 megasquirts per cylinder. 4 ECU's. better?
Good point, even the factory system itself wasn't perfect in the first place. it does a good job averaging it all out. that's where we clean that ****.

 

I read an article the other day about individual cylinder tuning. on a hand built perfectly in spec v8 race engine AFRs ranged from 13-1 to 15.5-1 between cylinders using individual widebands. if you read all cylinders and average them, you're only a point or so off all over. if you read the rich cylinder, the lean cylinders now 2 points off. IIRC possible ignition advance also varied 8 or so degrees between cylidners but that's a lot more expensive to improve on (multiple knock sensors, ultra-high-res crank sensors, and a damn nice computer capable of calculating knock for individual cylinders and adjusting them separately.

Will reading one cylinder work? absolutely. you could probably get quite a few miles that way. BUT if you start to develop a variance in the other 3 (valve starts to not seal, injector gets plugged up running you really lean, etc) you won't be able to know until it's a full-blown miss, after mechanical damage has been done.

In short, eventually something will break. I'd like to have it do a little less damage when it goes.

 

The LC header sits inside the frame rails OK,not below @ all.
I did have a problem with the three hole flange hitting against something, so changed all the flanges to two hole type.
Bought the flange plates from LC.
