SAFC Clarification

I never bothered to find out when I had my hatchback with my SAFC... but now that i might get one for my Si, I think i might need to know

When making fuel adjustments on your SAFC..
richer = colder combustion/less power/less wear
leaner = hot combustion/more power/more wear

is this correct?

Also, just got a Tenzo-R Axle-Back exhaust for my car... really impressed! Much better than I thought it would be.

yes, those statements would be correct. you should get an air/fuel ratio meter to make sure your settings will be correct for your application.

best bet is to take it to a tuner so that it can be properly tuned on a dyno at all rpm points.

does it still smell like dairy cows in puyallup?

trust me... it'll will take you years to get it set right on your own. take it to a tuner to have it tuned. once you have the baseline settings, you can manually tune it yourself for each new mod you install after that.

yeah, i used to live up there and still do pretty much, although i move around a lot.
