To those who can CHOOSE their A/F Ratio?
With a standalone.....what do you target for? Little bit rich? Lean it out for maximum performance? I wanna know what the "ideal" A/F ratio is for safety & performance.....14.7? 13?

i run 12.8 and still push around 550hp at 22psi. IT good to run a little rich but not fullrich.

for a street turbo setup on pump gas, 11.5-11.8:1 is safe. Race gas go leaner.
14.7 is stoichiometric, but is not best for power.

right, I knew thats what you were thinking.
Remember, its parts of air to 1 part fuel, so the higher the number, the leaner the mixture. But you should not rely solely on a/f, EGT's are just as important. The two should be used together for a safe tune

Re: To those who can CHOOSE their A/F Ratio? (immortal)
yeah, i know. just wanted to get an idea of what people run...
Max power is 12.5:1 I believe. so really it all depends on whether you're shootnig more for reliability or more for power. If you run on the richer side of things then you have lower cylinder pressures which can increase reliability
