djqc Member 291 Member For: 13y 4m 9d Posted 03/02/13 10:55 AM Author Share Posted 03/02/13 10:55 AM Adam is correct, a car can be run at 13.5:1or leaner if the spark table is set up for it, although combustion temps, (not coolant temp) will get higher with a lean mixture.To those quoting AFR's on other fuel bseide unleaded, are you sure the dyno was set up to read the other fuels stoich value???? bet you don't know for sure, if you talk lambda we know things are reading correctlyI have an in cabin oil temp gauge, using the f6 cluster. It has defienitly raised in temp since the tune was done. 430kw on a stock motor is really leaning on it, isn't it? Is 12.8 too lean in my application?

Meant to say lean not low. Car does feel good but does run slightly hotter on the temp gauge than pump fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either of them have done enough to know what the go is. I would put enough trust in them to not worry about it mate.If it was another workshop in WA then maybe I would sh*t my pants a bit.
