454 mag lean? need advice on what to do
1999 454 mag 120hrs solid runner 24ft kachina cat
put CMI headers and vortec air cleaner plugs seamed lean so I welded a bung on the tail and got AFR. idle seams fine 13.05 -13.66 but after that it leans out steadily on my AFX RPM- AFR 1000- 14.3 1400- 14.33 1800- 13.8 2200- 14.15 2600- 13.8 3000- 14.8- 15.1 3400- 14.4-14.8 3800- 14.1 4000- 14.0 4200- 13.2 4400- 12.96 I have the wrong prop on it and will be getting one step down before next trip so I can get numbers above 4400rpm but should I raise fuel pressure a bit to richen or just get ecm re flashed ? thank you in advance! |
i would get an adjustable fuel regulator and raise the pressure. now if you are at the rev limiter then i would spend the extra cash for a remap to raise the limiter and richen the air fuel ratio

I ordered a adjustable fuel reg kit from Vortech for the fuel cool system will install soon. I tested stock pressure at last trip out and at idle i was at 38psi and at wot 42psi on gauge off rail. what should I start my psi at first adjustment 48? 50? and should I adjust with the vacuum hose disconnected?. this is a brand new fuel cooler / fuel pump so should be consistent at higher adjustments as a final note
thank you in advance. |
on my 500efi I was told 50,just an idea to start.
