I explained before. Tuned car on dyno with wideband, how else can you know what a/f ratio is. Dsm link shows around 9.5 a/f under load because using stock o2. I have wideband installed in car to give me reference while driving, bunged on o2 housing along with stock o2, bunged on o2 housing. I have never tuned on street, probably take out 2-5 pedestrians or something, hell I would not have a engine anymore, how can you drive half ass tuned. Who the hell is Chris C. Anyone who knows me knows I am always thinking about the car and never satisfied with it. I am usually a nervous reck tuning on dyno. Always have help. Don't enjoy it until 3-4 pulls where you are safe. With the new cylinderhead this spring I was lien first two pulls. Some of the other reasons I have low egt is because aftermarket oil cooler, fuel cooler, radiator. I have spent way too much money on my car. Again a good fmic will have a cause and effect and bring down temp. of engine, dah. Greddy is a good one.

a) O2 housing is not a good location for a WB O2. Should be farther from the turbo.
b ) thinking != knowing
c) oil cooler, radiator, and whatever the hell a fuel cooler is, don't change your EGT, unless they are curing knock, which they shouldn't be, unless you were overheating before you added them.
d) people spend a lot of money to put body kits on their car too. money doesn't make the car run better or your brain more knowledgable.
e) good FMIC will not bring down the temp of the engine. it will bring down the temp of the air going into the engine, which, under optimal conditions, will still be exhausting at the same temp. Do you think colder intake air makes the explosion in the cylinder colder?? If it did, it would be counter-productive, as less heat = less energy = less power.
