Default Whats wrong with getting an FMU?

Whats wrong with getting an FMU? Currently I have:

DSM 450cc injectors
Running uberdata base map @ 8.7 PSI

I was thinkin bout buying an 12:1 FMU.

B/c I have not done street tune. i dont know my A/F ratio. If i slap the FMU wont that make my A/F Ratio accurate and constant at 12:1, or at least around there?

Is this safe and will it work. I dont have time to street tune yet. I wanna be fast now. I street tune it later when i get my stuff for it.

For what it will cost you in time and money to put in a FPR, I would say you should just get the car tunned properly.

LOL so you have Uberdata in your car and you want to use an FMU? Why not just go to a dyno shop and get it tuned? Just bring your laptop and burner. Or come to CT and I have a dyno guy here that knows Uberdata.

LMAO...he thinks a 12:1 FMU means that he's getting a 12:1 AFR...LMAO....are you serious man??
the 12:1 ratio on the FMU means...12 psi pressure increase in fuel at every 1 psi increase in boost.
You are better of and faster with a Uberdata basemap

i always love these "FMU + 450cc injectors" posts

could you imagine a 12:1 FMU @ 10psi with 450cc injectors? it would drain the entire fuel tank in about 2 minutes.. lol
