no 02's ???

Hello, I am new to the 5.0 seen. I was a old Grand National owner and raced the Buicks since 1988. I loved those cars but I also always like the Mustang even though the buick guys and mustang guys did not get along.

Well now I have bought myself a 1987 Mustang GT with the following mods.

Brand new Eagle 347 Stroker with Mass air
AFR alumium Heads
Elderbrock upper and lower
42 lb injectors
70mm BBK throttle body
Long tube BBK headers
MSD TFI full ing.
vortech s-trim blower

hooked to a PA C-4 super comp trans with brake
alumium drive shaft
Built 8.8 with spool 3.73, moser axels, c clip elm.
Florida 5.0 dash...ect

Well my question is that this car has about 50 miles on it, eveything is brand new.

It has 6 passes on it with pump gas and has run 10:66@125 thru the exhaust on drag radials.

The car was Dyno tuned to be between street and strip, so it runs on pump gas only.

But there is no O2 sensors in it. How does this all work like this and is this a normal setup? what do I have??? The guy said they used them just for the dyno and took them out as soon as they finished. He also said that o2 only work at idle and does not do anything above idle to a highly modded car.

this car is way different from anything I have had. Any help would be a great welcome to me...
here is a short video of it.

he tuned it with a wideband oxygen sensor and probably has the ecu set in permanent closed loop..

i never had O2s on my 86, it aways ran fine ( mid 12s ) got 24 mpg and always passed emissions with flying colors

my o2 sensors were bad so they just turned them off when i got my tune, theyre still off and when i buy new ones i gota take my car back and have them turned on

...93 Hatch do you have a Pokemon as your Sig? lol... That takes me back haha.

86 Notch, Did you notice an really differences in preformance at all? With or without them.

And what exactly are they used for i know they improve idle and help with Gas mileage, do they do anything else?

Blown347 · October 15th, 2008, 07:53 AM

I was told that they really dont do anything above idle, that some people think they play a big part in part throttle operation but they really only play a very small part and you will not rally notice them gone. I drove my car 20 miles last night and it ran fine.

if there is a stock computer in the car look and see if its chipped.. if so then ya they proly turned them off. if no chip then you want to get some in there..
