might try -45%. i was running -40% but when i hopped on the dyno, the engine was running VERY rich. when the tuner leaned it out to -45%, the a/f rose to about 12:1.

are you running an FMU? at full throttle you should run rich btw? are you putting out black smoke?

I'm running RC 440's aswell with a V-AFC and GM 3 bar map on 15 lbs. Works great with an FMU.

i am not running any fmu.. i'll try lowering my fuel pressure..
but i guess since i am running this rich without installing my warlboro fuel pump.. is it a good guess to say i might not need the fuel pump at all??

take it to a dyno tuner with wideband. they will adjust it. my settings range from -46 to -49 and still a tad on the rich side.

if your using the afc, make sure all the settings are right, eg: sensor is pressure and 6 in and 6 out.

I have the same setup as you but i'm using 450 cc inj and a fmu and stock pump.
Got the car on the dyno and I was very lean.
My auto meter a/f gauge was saying very rich.
I'm now going to get a 255lph in tank pump and a b&m fpr.
Get it on the dyno and find out whats wrong.

nope. There is a setting in the Apexi that converts the 3 bar signal to the stock honda signal. Read my thread on this exact topic:
