I got pulled over again today for window tint; apparently they think I'm undercover and when they run my plate it doesn't come back to a department.

UGH.

Like Scott pic of the SHO police car above, St Louis County which is huge is switching to white SHO's. The first time I pulled up besides one at a stop light & the nice police officer, too many on this forum to say anything else, looked up from his computer & smiled & gave me a thumbs up. Ok that's cool. But seen another one yesterday, but today the ultimate downer, had to follow one into my subdivision. I like feeling safe with police in my area. But I had the only white SHO all to myself for almost 4 years in St. Lou, I feel like the song some of you maybe to young to remember, MY MEMORY JUST BEEN SOLD MY ANGEL IS NOW A CENTERFOLD. I'm official bummed out!!!!!!!!!!!

Not yet, I was just doing 40-60 pulls in 3rd and watching AFR. The car aux fuel system is either putting the car at 9.8-9.9 AFR and no problems or 10.8-11.2 and sometimes the car feels like it's going lean so it closes throttle. I am so glad this car is smart because it should have blown up many times by now. The good thing is I have boost and I can tune the fuel luckily with the aux fueling controller. Long term I'm probably going to look at a more sophisticated controller but that costs more $$ so we'll see. I need to stop by Pro-EFI who is in town here and see if they'll help out :)
