Today's burnout on film

Andrew,
Fun isn't it? I found the best way to get rid of wheelhop was to add boost!
Roland,
I don't know about "smarter than you", but the computer will compensate for exhaust with the o2 sensor during normal driving, but at WOT the computer reverts to a stock fuel map and ignores the O2 sensor(open vs closed loop). The stock WOT maps can run lean without adding fuel pressure if modified. A session with the Sharktuner would fix this.

Roland,
Andrew already has a boost activated fuel pressure regulator (I think) so once a supercharged motor is setup for boost, what you gain from a free flowing exhaust pales in comparison to the extra air the blower is forcing through. So if anything, he would have to turn up his FMU a bit to compensate. Adding a RRFPR would not do anything on an already boosted 928.

Now the onboard computer should compensate for changes in air intake or exhaust, but to what degree? I understand that a rising rate fuel pressure regulator allows for the optimum air/fuel mixture. The dyno results for X pipes (regardless of who's selling them) definitely shows a little fall-off at the higher RPM's associated with a 'lean' state. Am I off base or can someone smarter than me (that won't take much) help.

We are creating custom mapped chips for our SC kits, so the subject of increasing fuel pressure etc. via an AFPR is pretty much mute. Our systems are designed to run at stock fuel pressures, fuel mods (and now timing mods) are done via computer remapping just as the factory originally did it. We are still using an AFPR with our SC kits (set at stock FP) just as a "safety net" in case simple changes are needed to make sure he is not running lean at WOT until final tuning is done. Also this allows the same safety net to allow for adjustment in case of MAF degradation etc if/when that ever occurs.
Currently Andrew is running on a quick 1-2 hour road tune concentrating on making his system safe and is not even close to being optimized (time crunch at SITM). Now that we finally have the EZK SharkTuner software (thanks John) we will be creating an optimized base chip set on the dyno for Andrew with custom Fuel and Ignition mapping matched to his current mods. Later if he wishes he can use our SharkTuner to do even more fine tuning, custom tailored to his 928 on the dyno.
Andrew,
Cool video, thanks for sharing!

Sorry for the confusion, I will make that clearer so there is no misunderstanding.
