It is dependent on the car as to how lean you can go. You need at least an A/F gauge to adjust it, and ideally a wideband O2 sensor.

EGT gauge helps as well.

Don't attempt to tune it without at least having an A/F gauge.

rich is safer, but makes less power. On an n/a you aren't very much at risk for detonation, so you can pretty much go for the optimum A/F ratio.

Uh, I wouldnt want to go to that shop. If he is supposed to be tuning your car and cant even set a baseline map on a safc... that just scares me.

oh he can he just wanted to know if there was some sort of a too high of a setting ... noone in edmonton has experience in tuning an rx7. this guy has the most experience with safc and vafc's so im hoping itll be alright. hes got the wide band and all for his dynapack dyno.....
wish me luck.... gulp.... hjahaha

Yeah, there is no setting for all TIIs or something like that.

Make sure that wideband he uses is in your exhaust before the cats and it is perpendicular to the exhaust flow.

And yes....good luck!
