So, I question the assertion that 12.5 AFR should necessarily be the starting goal for best power.
I would think that a safe AFR would be based on the amount of meth injected. Not to sure how a mixture of water and meth would play into effect since I have only run meth. Stoich for gasoline and meth are different. With that in mind more meth means a richer AFR. Well at least this is what I see on my car, the only problem I have is that I am spraying the same amount of meth at all boost levels, since it is a single stage injection that turns on at 20psi. It does seem to have a bit of lag down low and maybe it would be smart to run a leaner mixture at lower RPMs to help with spoolup. It is something I have been thinking about but ran out of time last year since my car is not driven in the winter.

When it get nice out I am going to attempt to run one more jet and hopefully 3-4 more pounds of boost.
