You need a datalogger to see what your timing is at and to see if you are knocking before you even start leaning it out.

I've ran it to about 12.0-12.5 on C16...ran the best at that AFR. C16 is pretty knock resistant as well, especially at 5500+ rpms.

careful with the afrs on C16. Try to stay in the mid 11's at a max lean.....
