Re: Tech: O2 sensors

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

Keep in mind the last part of the article from the Bentley said that if your
tune adjustments (whether for performance or out of ignorance) are WAY off,
the computer cannot make the proper adjustments through the readings of the
O2 sensor.  But, YES, at full throttle the O2 sensor should not hinder the
performance of the motor.  HTH!!
