I’m also running an autothority maf, but I have allot of upgrades, and will continue to upgrade. So i use the Mafterburner. it is a maf calibration piggyback which solved all little problems with the tune. the 951 max chips are great, they feel great, but with the mafterburner you can fine tune the idle and top end pretty easily.

After carefully looking at my plugs with my mechanic, we determined that the coil is fine and that the NGK BPR7ES are too cold for my setup and the plugs apparently have dry fouling on them (all black around), so I went and bought the BPR6ES and (0.28 gap) I'm gonna see if they burn they burn better, they should, he said the the 7s are for cars running more than 75-100 hp than stock, high boost or for track cars which are constantly at high temperatures and rpm's, so since I'm only maxing out at 15psi and I have only 50 hp more (300) than stock, I'm gonna take his advice and see how they do, I put the FQS back to 0 to start from there...

I, and a lot of other users, run BPR7ES on stock and non stock cars, from mild to wild without ANY problems, they run better and smoother than Bosch ones.

Bosch? I have NGK BPR6ES, not 7ES, as stated in previous post...

I have BPR7ES in mine now. I am switching to the 951MAX chip tomorrow or Friday. I am hoping to avoid these idle issues.

Good luck with the chips, I'm happy with them on my Autothority MAF, if it runs too rich, try using the BPR6ES like I did, that way they'll burn at full efficiency, from my experience, the 7ES were too cold....

I didn't have any idle issue. Lots others have had excellent experience.

Russ will rectify if wrong. No worries.

I've also ended up on #2. Have also tried clocking the MAF and also did not find the sweet spot. I also ended up @ 10:00.

Note: my MAF is positioned after the bend in the piping. I think it may help to position the MAF sensor directly behind the filter in front of the piping.

Mine is in the front behind the filter, cooler up there too...

WHat kind of idle issues are you have with your LR setup? Stumbling? Do you have a newer or older LR unit?

Since I removed the ISV, I only have idle issues cold, but when it warms up, purrs like a kitten, I have an Autothority MAF with a LR pipe, stumbling happens rarely...
