Getting my dart ready for the drag strip

Whatever you buy for an A/F meter,make darn sure it has datalogging and can overlay RPM. It will make tuning much easier!
 
Do any of those A/F meters have an ecu or something to plug a laptop in to download the data and look at a graph with rpm vs a/f ratio???

Also, do they all have one O2 sensor?? Which side do you put it on? Would there be any difference in a meter that has 2 sensor inputs (if they even make those)?
 
If you want dual senors the innovation one has them, not to bad a price, AEM used to make one but haven't seen them in a long time, now it's just dual gauges. The AEM ones have a port to connect to a data logger to keep track of afr.

Glasstek makes good stuff. I think you'll be happy.
 
I have always thought your car was amazing and you do great work but just how young of a young gun are you. Your work is better quality then most old timers I see.
 
ha ha ha I am 32 yrs old now. I had the name Younggun over on bigblockdart back when i first signed up at age 22. i just kept it and now over here at FABO im younggun version 2.0.

thank you by the way for the compliments. I do try my best to make my stuff nice. Its kinda funny because last night me and my pop were sitting in the garage bull shittin and drinking some beer and i was talking about some of the stuff i have done with the car when i first started learning and how im already going back and doing stuff over again now that i have more skills. I have alot more time then money so i dont mind spending waaayyy more time than a normal person would on stuff.
 
I have been learning a lot from a friends dad. He started working on cars when he was around my age and he had to sell his first race car at age 25 when the kids came. Now he is almost fifty and bought back his old race car and the quality of work on the first car is pretty funny when compared to the cars he has built since. One day I'll look back on some of the stuff I did when I was 16 and really have a good laugh.

I look at it like a scrap book. Its fun to see all the little things you have done on these cars and think back to how hard it was at the time. I love to build and create things.

On a serious note, yes, having a wide-band is great tool, takes a lot of the guess work out of tuning....but would still recommend doing a baseline jet tune by MPH at the track (jetting up till the MPH falls off, then back it up a step). Then, take the wide-band numbers from the max MPH run and use that as your baseline for an "optimal" race tune.

Back to this topic real quick, how does timing come into play when jet tuning by mph?
