Sorry to hear about your engine failure. Your decision to swap in a replacement stock motor is probably the most efficient way to get the car back up and running, especially for the power you were making since its not usually enough to take out a VHR.

Those gauges tend to last a few years and then the heat and vibration get to them. I have seen them fill up with fuel before. I dont think youll get enough fuel through the gauge to lean out the engine, but running that fuel you are going to have a hard time getting it to knock even if you did run it lean. Especially all in just 1 single pull, while in the middle of being tuned with a tuner watching and logging A/F on each pass.
