Since my headers and pipes are laying in the garage, I thought this was the perfect time to weld the bungs in. I will probably just leave the AF gauge in the glovebox and pull it out only when testing/tuning.

Don't just pick any spot to weld them in -- think about what you're doing. When you put your pipes back in the car, you don't want to wind up saying "dang, I should have put it just an inch over there to the right...." |

Bungs should go in the collector portion of the exhaust so that it gets a uniform signal instead of one pipe. Unfortunately, most Cobra setups are that you can't put a bung hole (had to say that, thinking of Beavis and Butthead days) in the header, it has to be in the sidepipe.

Well, I want a video of you craning your neck over to look in the glove box while you nail it to WOT for a good three seconds.  And, if you hit a tree, we won't post it just out of courtesy.  |

I will store it in the glovebox and actually may only connect it to the bungs when testing/tuning. The o2 cables are long, so I can move the gauge closer to me when testing. Or bring along a passenger and they can look at it - although I find that WOT in a cobra can be distracting to passengers.

A video of the gauge is actually the easiest way and you just announce out loud what you're doing. I came to that conclusion when I was checking to see how much throttle I needed to give it to drop down below the PV setting.

A gauge like that needs to be within your normal view, even if only temporary for tuning.
I've done it, and it's near impossible to drive for power while observing a wideband gauge, ESPECIALLY a digital gauge.
A passenger or a video camera would be safer. |
