Some people choose to run with an AFR meter so you have a visual of the current AFR, but realistically the ECU sets your AFR to correct ratio for performance, a remap will sort out any fueling issues more so if you have modded the car dramatically, being truthfull a remap is really the only option to change the AFR values as this is done dynamically on the rollers to ensure your egtting the correct fuelling throughtout the power curve, to get this right having an in cab adjustable one could prove to be dangerous, if you lean it off to much you could cause some significant damge.

The amount of work needed to set it up is almost equal to the work needed to re-map the car...

Can't think why ?

No mortgage, and a serious Scooby habit maybe ?

No, I'm still thinking it's not as bad as I thought...

But makes sense to pull it out before it lets go !

I can't decide.
