tune was 23* timing and a 12.4 afr on 93 pump gas
the car was fine, i don't beat on the car much. It did see the track once that year for like 7 runs and was fine.
never dyno'd back then

haha lower the number the more rich. That is pretty damn lean for a boosted car
you could not pinch much more out of it with out supporting mods

ok i was confused. I thought lower the number the leaner. when I dynoed my car is was running at 10 lol. pretty rich but it's factory stock tuned. I am gonna go aftermarket injectors, aftermarket pulley, and tune time tune I think. Any advice for a powerful tune but a safe don;t blow up my engine tune?

on the edge. that much timing and that lean was pretty crazy with no cooling mods.
I don't even run that lean and I have cooling mods.

GET COOLING MODS! lol. Seriously, pick up a heat exchanger and you should be fine. It'll allow for some extra timing advance which will help out with power of course.

alright i'll do the heat exchanger too, could i upgrade the whole intercooler system? Gets really cold, sometimes in the teens, but mainly stays in the 30's
