I know she looks a little dirty, but I am actually cleaning up the engine bay now. Just taking a quick break!

Disregard the question. I just got a pretty good crash course on it.

A little bit of misinformation in here....

The current default PFC map is actually LEANER than the stock ecu map in some areas of the map. It also has much more advanced timing than the stock ecu.

It is not safe with a PFC to just plug it in with a full bolt-on car and let her rip -- this is safe with the stock ecu at 10 psi.

It's actually far better than the stock ECU map. It will easily handle intake, downpipe, and cat-back, maybe even intercooler. Not to mention the car will run WAY better with the PowerFC than with the stocker. A midpipe will require tuning, though.

Was there ever consensus between these two conflicting posts? It sounds like there is no way of knowing for sure without accurate AFR data from the particular car?

why not install a wideband and go test it out
