Zilla cosmetics with a couple mods......
Finished up installation and calibration of the Cyberdyne Boost/vac gauge and MAP sensor, and the wideband O2 install/calibration in the new 'knee pod'.
This is a GP Hud Pod modified with a little fiberglass magic to fit the location.
First up for your whorage viewing, is a little traction problem. There'* no such thing as 'nudging the throttle' on the Zilla any more. Ramp modifications are planned to prevent this in the future:


Wideband O2 sensor install (MAP sensor not pictured, the other thingy is the exhaust cutout control harness thingy):

Helooooooo, beastie:

Shots of the 'knee pod':



Pardon the mess, it'* cleaned up now, and the Zilla is the commuter car for the rest of the week.
Ready, waiting, and willing:

Onto the primer and glamour (pay close attention to the reflections):






On a techincal point.......the good news is NOT that I'm running lean. The good news is that I'm running lean on a LINEAR scale. Not overly rich at the bottom end and lean on the top like I thought, but evenly lean across the board. Sounds like an easy tune with bigger injectors.

LOL at the "no more nudging of the throttle"
I bet Lil Pooky must have said "Come up a bit more... TOO MUCH TOO MUCH TOO MUCH!"
Looking great and the pod ls pretty good.

I'm already there, Paul. 
Ported heads, LIM, and supercharger, added to the 1.8 rockers and good exhaust? I'm outflowing the capacity of my stock injectors with a 4bar fuel pressure.

No modifications necessary, and no, I'm not looking at 36lb injectors. That would be horrific overkill, and I'd have to back my fuel pressure way down.
I can go with a smaller injector than 36 at 3bar, and still adjust them over 36 at 4bar.
There is a misconception in the 'tuning' world that bigger injectors are always better for power and seem to be some sort of bragging right. I'm going with the injector size I need, with a little wiggle room, and room to adjust with my FPR. No more. It took a LONG time to outgrow my stockers.
