Now, I have read about people lean tuning for closed loop mode (e.g. 15+:1). That's an interesting idea. It actually works OK from a power output standpoint, but I think the potential issue is the heat. Inevitably, some fuel is not burned, even when targeting stoich, and that fuel is being vaporized and absorbing heat. Take it away and that's more heat the block has to deal with. Not good on a VQ.

My thinking is more to cut down a tad on in-boost consumption, since there is an incredible volume of air/fuel going through the cylinders in that state and even a few tenths of a point are likely to make a tangible difference. I'd probably go from 1.5mpg to 2.5mpg under load LOL
And on a more serious note, the only thing I really want to adjust is the loudness/drone of the exhaust, which can get tiring. Anyone up for a non-res & 18" res swap out?
