^ you were reading the bible of turbow down tom
thats BS, if your running high compression, non intercooled i can see reason to tune rich for safety. however, on a built motor with low compression, low boost LOL youve gotta be kidding me. randy has me tuned to 11.5. when i got my base tune it was around 10.9! and that was pretty rich, not to mention, stock motor so it cant even handle as much in the way of cylinder pressure. tom use to tune on the lean side, far leaner then randy ever pushed it, and i think has changed that in the past 2 years as i have read that numerous times in threads on FJ.
this is why i stick to FJ, you try helping a guy out whos trying to figure out if his AFR is whacky or not, i get in the middle of world war tom and get nailed with the ban hammer.
