I just installed a vortech v3 unit, with 47# injectors, and a high flowing fuel pump.. I can't figure it out i swapped the maf out still nothing...my air fuel ratio goes to 17-20. I'm not sure what to look for or how to troubleshoot this

are you using a MAFia?

I'll ask this, you uploaded the blower tune?

Vortech add on pump? Watch your fuel pressure. Those thin hoses get cut easily. Happened to me.

did the tuner tell you to set the MAfIa @ 2? and did you tell them it is set at 2?

It's a tune/mafia issue. With the maf unplugged it goes to default trims and bypasses the tune, hence why it runs fine.

My advice, sell the mafia and get a maf with the range you need for your setup like the HPX or BA5000.

For some reason I revved the living dog shit out of it and it seemed to stabilize it self but in the process I burnt out my o2 sensor for my afr gauge
