I'll be right untill friday yeah? The car pretty much wont get driven untill the friday where I drive it up to Simon's.Thanks.Also with the BA and BF did the BA only have 1 censor? (which is before the cat) mine had 2 so we had to drill a little hole to fit the other censor.

Guest Guests Posted 17/07/07 10:09 AM Share Posted 17/07/07 10:09 AM I had same thing done some time back before another tune, injectors etc and Simon expressly said to drive it very carefully enroute to his workshop as it would run very lean etc Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36714-got-the-high-flow-cat-fitted-today/#findComment-555821 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backpressure has been reduced so you will run leaner but factory tunes are super rich anyway. So long as you take it easy, meaning no dragging or prolonged full throttle you can still drive 'spirited until it hits the dyno. Post the AFR up so we can all see how lean it was running, many would be interested. My guess is it's gone from low10's to maybe 12. Most tuners dyno WOT to low 12's. If you're concerned run 98 octane. This will assist in preventing detonation.

Why risk a $40k+ car for the sake of saving 6c per litre???
