Ralliart AFR and Tuning Questions
Does anyone happen to know where I can find Merlins guide, as well as any other good meterial on tuning the car? I searched, but got useless results. 
Also, anyone know what a safe AFR is at WOT in the RA? I installed my AEM intake this weekend and while I used to be around a 10.2 at WOT I'm not at a 12.1...

I've tuned my RA fuelling based on Merlin's guide - and direct input from loads of the helpful people here on EvoM. Invaluable stuff. I'm currently tuned for mid-to-low 11s at WOT, with a tiny bit of "lean spool" action in there to richen up when playing around on track.
I realise I "could" go leaner. One day I probably will retune it, when I'm more experienced. But 12.1:1 at WOT sounds leaner than anything that was recommended to me as being a good idea.

I think 11.5 @ WOT is what most should aim for. Some tuners like to tune for 12, but with weather changes and how little more power you make at the reliability loss, doesn't seem worth it
anything over 12 isn't very safe imo. I would say 12.5 is starting to step into the danger zone

Go Fast Bits BPV

My tune was a modified V2.6 to accommodate the exhaust.
Do you not have a wideband?? BTW I responded on AIM.

The further on the edge, the hotter the intensity, you know...

how close it is to danger I think is irrelevant; just stay under 12
for reference, stock is around 9.5-10 if I'm not mistaken
