Whys that?
Also, have you heard of moving the sensor? I dont like it right there above the motor, i feel like it might read the engine heat.

Wont the SC read AIT temp? If it does check that vs your ambient outside temp, a powerwire fools the sensor into acting colder then it is to add fuel.

The sensor reads cooler in that location than it did before via my ai. The vararam already causes it to run richer adding the powerwire will make it run even more so. I had one on for all of a week before it came off. A/fwas not where I wanted it to be at wot. Running way to rich (low 11s high 10s) took it off and its back to mid 11s after the vararm went on. Still need to get it tuned out a bit so its in the 12s at wot.

Cut strip and crimp, but when done it is reversable. So there is nothing permanent

The good thing about having gauges that read all the fun stuff is that they will read everything so you can monitor the things you put on. The vararam+powerwire= a significant afr change.
Im sure they work great, not going to question it, but when my afr drops down that low and runs pig rich like that it hurts the performance. Not trying to hurt your sales just telling you how that particular combo runs.

I would not, just going by what I have seen after adding both of the mods, it just made me run to rich. The vararam really richens things up, more air and cooler air, it even says it right in the instructions that it will cause you to run a little richer even after the learning process, and acording to my wideband it does.
After you get the tuner on there, I believe it will lean it out a little. but right now you are probably running very rich.

When you do headers, get a wideband installed and watch your afr. Also if you could log STKR it be a good thing to do as well. When I did my headers, before a 180* stat and the vararam and cam and custom tune.... I was running to lean and was getting a lot of knock, added the 180* and it mostly went away until I got it custom tuned.
You really need to datalog to see what its doing after the install to see what all you running at and check the KR. SC wont do that though....
