People have come to NYSpeed to get away from the drama and misinformation that plague other forums. Let’s keep it that way. This isn’t the first time you’ve tried to play tuner. Stick to what you know.
Many factory turbo cars such as DSMs, Subarus, etc. come from the factory running 10.0:1 or richer under boost and there are no issues with ring failure, or any engine failure due to this. They usually run past 150k miles and even 200k miles unless the car isn’t maintained properly or is modded or tuned improperly. Bryan’s car is a full point leaner than that and as I said it didn’t make any more power when leaned out further in that RPM range. I take it you would lean it out anyways… All you’d be doing is increasing engine temperatures, reducing bearing life, and decereasing reliability.
