  • open loop

    i have noticed that when i first start my car when its cold i can roast em' a lot easier than if i let my car warm up to temperature, by any chance is there more power when the car is in open loop?

    the only thing really is the car runs off a preprogram and run a little rich to warm up quicker. maybe the a little extra fuel helps you.

      just a thought outta my ***, im sure since the engine is cooler, the air around the engine is cooler, so unless u have tru ram air, the air will be cooler, more o2 molicules in the air equale faster combustion.......

        maybe its allowing you more timing cause its not detecting knock.
        Too rich is bad for power.
        Max rich for N/A you'd want to be is 13.5:1
        sounds like you need a tune.
        Fact: Your intake air is definately cooler on startup, which would equal a max of 9rwhp (my buddy, donniearcher proved this on a dyno)
        You are in open loop until 68F ECT
