Quick Fuel trim Question

Stupid question here?
Matt do you have a spare MAF, or have you replaced it or swapped it out?
Also if the MAF were reading low, and there was actually more air then the PCM thought there was then the engine would run lean and could cause the Manifolds to be glowing red right?
Just a thought? Am I way off?

Once everything has ben learned,
The LT Fuel trims should be fixed at or close to 128 or 0% while the ST Fuel Trims should hover around 128 or 0%.
The ST Fuel Trim as well as the O2 output will be fixed at WOT.
But yeah. 150 is defintiely an indication of previously running lean up top. The may be too far for the computer to compensate..
The 126 at idle should be close enough to be within facotry spec? Bill?

We're dealing with a different animal here. He did the LIM porting (only the ports themselves, not the injector knuckles inside). Port velocity would increase, allowing more air per intake stroke to enter the chambers.
It'* very likely the 3bar regulator can't keep up. His is new, as is his fuel pump. Those were two early steps he took, and both showed signs of age.
At this point, I'd suggest:
1. Get those EM'* good and hot again and make sure they look even in redness/temp.
2. Order the Adjustable FPR.
3. Dial your FP in using the LT and ST fuel trims.
4. When everything looks stable, drop pulleys again.
This is different than mine as I was running a tad lean at the bottom, and far more lean for awhile at the top (overly ported Gen2 TB for some time, but did improve with the Gen3 swap).
It'* risky at this point because the FPR ain't cheap, and it'* not a gaurantee. It worked for me like magic, but I had a totally different (even though it looks very similar) issue.

Don't forget to consider gmtuners.
It may take longer but the end result could yeild better LT fuel trims.
It may be cheaper too?
Nobody has done it yet w/ the 93 full on OBD1 pcm so it may take some time to get right.
I do believe it'* in Ryan'* (gm tuners owner) ability though.

One is a second gear hold, the other is a skipshift. There was something else I don't recall, but John Wikoff has the information.

i have had my mind on the adjustable FPR for a while now.
The mainfolds, all 6 ports glow evenly red
ive seen it more than enough times to know lol

Also i should mention, even with my new FPR, my pressure is still a few pounds lower than recommended in the FSM, no matter what..

Matt, I'm damn tempted to have you test a 2.25bar or 2.5bar regulator instead, but I don't know the difference in fuel demand between your gen2 and my gen3, despite similar LIM porting.
You may just have to bite the bullet on this one. Based on my experience, it won't take much of a bump to get you back in business FP wise.
