- on a dyno, 13.0 to 1 is desired. Under load, you want it a bit richer. So... if you are going to use the real-time diags in the Predator, shoot for 12.7 or 12.8 to 1.

Got mine to 11.9 where it flattens out at 4400RPM. Seems to start working down to this point at 3300RPM from almost 15. Could there be a problem with this set up? Car pulls strong with the I/C Mag
