Innovative Motorsports, a worldwide company that manufactures widebands, had one of their tech guys talk about running rich:

Secondly, to be very honest with you? i do NOT trust anyone here, since the timing/fuel maps are all generally based, theyr do NOT know that every engine varies. NO two cars are the same, even if you have an EVo chassis number xxx067 and you get the xxx068 chassis EVO, that engine would be different. We are talking minor, but it is these minor differences that make or break and engine.
Secondly, did you go to the dyno? did the 'tuner' sit for 8+ hours and adjusted the maps? i don't think so....
I gained 137ft-lbs in torque in my car by adjusting the timing, but only AFTER 6 hours on the dynojet. Costed me over Dhs 2,000 just for the dyno runs, but when i gained that much torque, and 89% of that torque came on 300rpms sooner, the car just pulls like a train from 2,400rpms onwards.
Now, i am sure i could really squeeze things, and really get into the timing, but rule of thumb is ' the higher the performance you want, the smaller the window of reliability gets'. Hence why F1 cars are fighting over milligrames to shave off, to gain 0.1% power, and have an engine fail just seconds after a race.........
It's you're money, you're car and you're time.....i screwed up big time and threw a rod out of the block, causing a 8" hole in the block, due to my tuning mistakes, but instead of being all pissed off about it, i took it as a learning curve and started fresh and learned a LOT.
