I believe 14.7:1 is considered stoich. Just keeping it at 14:1 is amazing. Go back and look at mine some time, I was dropping below 11:1, causing misfires at high RPM. I'm going to do some TPS tuning tonight since SR5guy figured out my check engine light was caused by the 3.5L's TPS sensor's higher voltage.

I find with our NA T1 engines 13.4 AFR an 34 degrees of timing will give absolute maximum power on the dyno. However 12.8 - 13.0 and 30 degrees of timing
is better for endurance racing.

Also I believe that fuel is cheap and engines are expensive.

A number of members from this forum have sent me private messages on this matter. As of now I am yet to receive a single request for a set of gears, an exchange set of gears or payment for a set of gears.

I need a HP estimate, I have a Custom CAI, OBX headers, Y-Pipe, Test Pipe and a recently purchased Telion chip. I read roughly it makes 165-169whp 170-175 wtq stock. I was wondering what it would be since I don't live near anywhere that has a dyno
