I have started accelerating differently, I was taking off at 10in. hg. now I have began to take on in first shift to second at like 5 mph, and 2nd-4th about 4-5in. hg.
I have an A/Fuel ratio gauge and at this position of throttle it stays a lil more on the lean side.(I have been listening for spark knock none what so ever) If I give it any more throttle than this it goes into open loop and stays pegged at rich. It kinda has a little sweet spot right there at about 40-50% throttle, it is a very small area I have to watch A/F gauge very closely or it goes rich. I can't move my foot more than 1/8" or I lose this spot. I also must shift about 2200-2500 rpm to stay in this fuel reading. Maybe it is the Xfi ecu has a different map.
This should in theory reduce my pumping loss of the engine by not "bogging" it down at the lower throttle position. I guess only time will tell on this method I hope it does do what I am thinking it will. Another added benefit of this is that I reach cruising speed in 5th about 5-10 seconds sooner, which is probably the most efficient speed for this car 35mph in 5th.
I am just really hoping I may be on to something hear, or for all I know I may lose mileage from this. From what my gauge says though I have good feelings on this one, Wish me luck.
