Adding Midpipe. ow much fuel I need to add with the PIM?

Greetings

I ordered a resonated midpipe and I am wondering how much fuel I need to add with the PIM voltage. Also do I need to back up the timing a bit on the PFC?

Mods are:

-Downpipe
-Apex GT cat back
-Y-pipe
-Intake

Any suggestion?

Thanks all!
Serge

OK, no one bit the question. Here is a rough estimate.

They advertise about 20HP gain on a modded engine with a MP. Yours maybe 15HP max.

15/255 = 6% power increase. Add 6% fuel then have the AFRs checked. That should be very safe.

OK Thanks. And now What about the timing?

Thanks again

Allright. However I am running 15 PSI on my BNR stage 3 so I am wondering if I have to touch the timing a little to get the most of it.

Thanks

I just swapped out my N-tech HF cat, that flows pretty well - supposedly 96% of a midpipe, for a 3" SS midpipe and I didn't add any fuel to my maps.

I have a WB set up and my AFR's are still safe(11.4-10.8)
It also helps that my maps were pretty rich up top. My knock kreadings also haven't gone above the normal 33-37 level.
