Do you have a Fujita SRI or something?

Yeah that's what happens when you run a stock ecu thinking you have 330cc injectors but you have 440cc now haha. No tune or anything yet. But hopefully soon. I'm running 1 step colder NGK iridium plugs and are gapped at .024". Coppers are good but I like Iridiums better IMO. On my old motor I compared both and the Iridiums held up nicely. They're a bit more money per plug but not much. As for the SI running 12.6:1 under WOT, people with their intakes have been averaging low 13's and some maybe high if anything. Anyone that's been hitting 14+ on their AFR's have admitted to running lean. Usually it's because of the specific intake. On CAI's I don't see them going that lean.
