[QUOTE="scott r, post: 564379, member: 62870"] the problem is that a good O2 sensor runs about $400. Every time I have had it running lean, the truck runs GREAT! I make a ton of power. The second it goes rich, performance goes down the tubes...like WORSE than stock performance. A spark plug foul I guess seems kinda like something that would cause the symptoms I'm having, far more than just being lean. It's possible that being lean has contributed to the plug problems, as Eddie said. I'm going to change the plugs tomorrow, hopefully that will fix the problem(s). I shouldn't have been trying to make something that's not designed to go fast, go fast. I guess that was just dumb on my part. This will be the last vehicle I buy that is sub 300-horsepower though. I can deal with crappy gas mileage, higher insurance rates and any other V8-related issues as long as I can stomp on the pedal and get a smile on my face. [/QUOTE]
