Christian, I would suggest that you get an exhaust gas temperature monitor, have it installed in your y-pipe and get a baseline with the stock ECU. Tune the EMS ignition map so that the timing is not too advanced (RETARDED

) so that you dont risk exhaust valve damage. It is also cheap insurance for a lean-run condition. High temperatures alert you that you are at risk of frying a piston.
