HOT RAM said:
I just replaced my X-Metal throttlebody with the (slightly modified :D ) stock unit and it was still surging from the throttle tapping .I found it was more of a TPS sensor issue than the single-blade throttlebody.All corrected now:rock:

(but the X-Metal is still for sale)

I think my truck is running realy rich. I had moved it out of the shop to do some cleaning, then backed it back in the shop last nite. In the short amount of time it took to back in the entire shop smelled like rich exaust. Im not shure how long it has been this rich, because I normaly just pull it in. I dont have an a/f guage. I have an xmetal tb volant cai, xmetal catless mids and flowmasters. Would any or all of this cause it to run rich. I just wanna make sure its not gonna hurt any thing. Also sometime I get a gheck engine light, maybe 3 times last year, but it goes off before I get anywhere to check it. Do you think it could be an o2 sensor?

Thanks for any help on this.
 
No.......... The smell is because you have catless mids.

On my AFR it runs between 14.5 and 15.2 at idle. Not rich at all but still smells like a gas station. The engines just use a lot of gas and with out cats you get the benefit of smelling it:)

What is the Cheapest way to get constant 636 RWHP without having to fill a bottle?

Paxton or Roe, dyno tuned. My QC with longtube headers, catless mids, magnaflow was a little over 650rwhp on 93 octane. I think you need a smaller pulley on the Roe to get the same numbers.

Same as the above answers...you are catless....but it was probably more noticable because the engine was cold both times...cold engine runs richer than when hot..
 
Well thanks guys I guess I just never noticed it was that rich, cause now it's cold and I backed it in. Also noticed it a little more with the cutouts open, but figured that was to be expected.

Anyway thanks again!
