Default what is a safe afr for low boost?

I have lowered my cr to 8.4:1 and I am running 6 lbs, but what should I be shooting for on my afr's, how about I drop to 3 lbs? (because of traction issues)

AFR under full throttle with 6,8,10, 12 PSI is safe from 11.2-11.5. Stay out of mid to high 12's for prolonged periods of time. If you can't launch at more than 3 PSI you need to deal with the traction issue sperately. Just my thoughts.

I am talking about driving around on the street tires, for when the wife drives it. right now it blows them of anywhere in first or second gear.

dude sweet set up! eaton is on the $ any boost should be mid 11s afr with no knock i like mine a crisp 12.0:1 but i am on top of mine alot with the hp tuners & the lm-1. i always set my clients up with 11.5 afr under boost & fuel enrichment under boost. so basicly if the if there is ANY boost thats what it needs to be to keep your pistons solid! dont foget the k.s. if you are not fueling correctly you timming may have issues as well. verifie your tune. on a reguler basis in case a sensor fails or you get an induction leak.
