This summer, should I set my car up to be rich or lean?

 

i dont think yull ever want ur car to be lean. i dont think the weather matters alot. i think wut matters is the altitute

 

I'm probably missing something here, but I would think that you would like the mixture to be set properly, neither rich nor lean. Why would you want to change it?

 

richer - ur engine will run cooler as the oil's in the petrol will take away the heat, but u will get less proformance with less air..

leaner - will run hotter, more proformance but engine's tuning needs to be spot on..

 

From my experiance with 2 first gens. if your going to run anything run it rich, But for best performance and gas mileage, run tuned properly. Just my 2 cents.

 

Thanks a lot, I think that ill keep it the way it is!

Well, there is more air density in the cold winter so run it a +hair+ richer in winter, lean it out a tad in winter.

Start at a 10 difference on the fuel jets and go from there.

Dyno available around u?

So which is it, richer or leaner?

 

Thought I was clear, richer in winter, leaner in summer.

Have fun.

Don't worry, I was just being a smart ***. If you read your post again you'll see why.
