Help with C&L 76MM & A9L computer install

venumus93 · 05-02-2002, 08:03 PM

Hey everyone!
I just got done installing my brand new C&L 76MM MAF & used A9L computer. I followed the C&L directions exactly EXCEPT they said 'best performance will occur between 17-18 degrees of timing' with 24lb injectors (I left my timing at 14 degrees for now). I also followed the EEC computer reset directions when installing the A9L. My car started fine & idled great at about 800 RPM like usual. I took it for a spin. I felt a hesitation when at WOT somewhere between 3000-4000 RPM, but only for a split second. I thought this new computer was supposed to get rid of the 'crappy Cobra computer hesitation'??? I also noticed that I dont smell my car exhaust anymore(seemed to be really rich before this install today). Which leads to my last question: The C&L instructions say to set static fuel pressure between 36-38 psi--what is my stock static fuel pressure? I dont have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, so do I need one now?
Sorry about the long post, but I need the expert advice of our members here so I can get to the track & show some better times. Thanks!
