Is this a stock mixture and our canned/custom tunes are different? I have the same modified stock intake that Jack has and am wondering what the mixture may be and if we are hitting the target area. Just some random thoughts!

It all depends on where in the throttle you are. If you are all the way into her, then it mixture will actually go down a bit? I can’t remember the numbers I have seen posted, but it’s almost down to 11:1 at WOT.

I could be wrong about the number but it’s something like that.

14:1 is what I understand as the effect ratio for effect burning and fuel mileage. Not for power. That would be to lean for max HP or torque.
