too lean?
too lean? 
i think this tune is perfect. dyno guy said its too lean. what do ya'll think. i normally like this kinda tune on a forged piston though, i forgot that they werent.
If it were mine I wouldn't run on the spray that lean. You can lean it slightly after your torque starts falling off, imo, that's how I have mine. 11.5 then 11.7/11.8.

No doubt. I'm going to agree with Robert on this 1. Your tune is to lean, I'd go 11.0 to 11.5:1 on the hose. You run a 13:1 on the bottle and something is going to melt.

Oh sorry about that, it was my falt for not reading the dyno sheet close. I did'nt even see the 100 shot run on there. yea, 13 is going to be too lean for you bud. 11 or so will be the savest bet. Sorry for the misleading it was my falt for not read the whole thing.

It's a good tune in a perfect world, but unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world. One bit of bad gas or a fuel supply hiccup and you're done. I run mine in the low 12:1 area and consider that pretty hairy. Good luck!
so theoretically, if i just change the 22 fuel to a 23 should be safe enough? or would you goto a 24? also, im wondering if a/f is gonna be the same going up in the jets, like if i goto a 200 shot, is it going to have the same a/f? So will i have to up the fuel jets in the bigger tune up also?
