I was just thinking of putting a WOT manually operated switch onto WOT circuit. This would give you the richer mixture before hitting WOT. Maybe just for fun I can label it NOS.:rollin:

I may run a test to see what the AFR changes to when that circuit is switched on.

Any results? I honestly didn't even know that there was a special situation involving the full throttle... I guess it puts more fuel into the cylinders, right?

Then again I don't think I ever went in full throttle mode... not that often anyways! Usually when I do it (in other cars) it's because the engine does not react much.. my other vehicle is very small and underpowered, so I push the pedal down hoping that the damn car will climb the hill! :driving1:

But I find the stock PRV adequately powerful for my driving style, so I don't feel the need to give it more gas than it needs

I also never go full throttle, well maybe once or twice. Yes you have a full throttle switch actuated from the throttle spool on your engine. If your engine is adjusted correctly with the dwell, that switch forces the dwell to a higher number which makes your mixture run richer.
