[Diy_efi] Air fuel meters

[Michael Richards]

At 227bhp there is no way you're going to smoke all 4 tires on 
pavement. My 323GTX is making 350bhp and most times it will stay hooked 
if I punch it in 2nd gear. With my STi swap of a few years ago I was 
making 320bhp and it had trouble lighting them up.

Don't forget that automakers tune their cars for reliability and for 
a "refined" feel. Just putting a boost controller on a WRX wakes it up. 
I can't even think of a stock car I've driven with the turbo hitting 
like a ton of bricks feel.

Most of it is in the tuning.
