i checked with the uk suppliers, dreamscience......

G'day Jared, i have race+ installed on my focus & was wondering if using it with a de-resed exhaust will adversly affect the afr, make it run too lean causing detonation. is the afr now a fixed number, like 8 for instance or does it still have a range to work in, like 7 - 10.
thanks Ron

the reply......

Hi Ron the AFR has a targeted lambda of 12 to 1 afr on the ST225 using Race+. This is calculated in fuel weight terms on this vehicle from both a MAF and MAP system so changing the exhaust shouldn’t make a noticeable difference to the fuelling, if you can get more air in and out, you will get more fuel in and out, hence more power. Good luck J

All the best
