When you top it off that is normal for 50 miles and the needle jsut passing F. My car is untuned with a lot of fuel altering mods and it does that.

Iam sorry but I have to call on this. Unless you were coasting down hill for 423 miles, I cannot see how this is possible. Do you have the stock rims and tires. Maybe your odometer is off becasue of a change in tire size?

I only have 18's rolled in 245/40/18. Can having a fully built head play a factor with this? I mean i will admit on part throttle the AF runs very lean 15.5 - 16.5. But this is ok since I am not under boost and am not generating any heat. It's when I roll into boost the thing ichens up accordingly but I have not fully tried this yet as the car is not fully broken in. im still running on regular 5w30 non synthetic for the break in process.

Tune is on AEM so im assuming it was road tuned meaning part throttle isnt overly rich.
