new bypass tube...

Went looking for better tubing and found what looks to be ideal. Its the tubing that is actually meant to be used with the fittings. :-) The tubing is flexible yet kink resistant. All the parts are by Carlson Electric. Its 3/4" dia hose and fittings. I found that if I heated the tubing at around 150F in the oven for a few minutes, its much more flexible and easier to install.

Drove the car this evening, and its running great. The idle was a little loppy when I first started the car but after a bit of driving, it steadied out. Seems that initially, the ECU was running the afr a little lean at idle, and when it would swing way lean, the idle speed would take a dip. Under agressive driving, the afr is right around 13.2:1 from 3000-5000 rpm. I'll post a log tomorrow.
