It's the ratio of air to fuel entering your combustion chamber. I don't know where it ought to be for these motors, but I build NA V8s to run at ~12.5:1 AFR. Running rich can cool your combustion chamber. Running lean increases power, but risks holed pistons and detonation.

well that looks like one healthy beast. with all that lbft i am sure he is going to have issues getting off the line. Adam i want those numbers but switch them so i have 713hp and 561lbft, what do you think.

Stop guys, I am a car buying Junky and I just bought my dayum 55 like a month or two ago. Now you guys got me figuring out how to manipulate things to get a 65 !!!. I am happy with my 55, I am happy with my 55, I am happy with my 55. Keep saying that Xecution, I am happy with my 55, I am happy with my 55.

I've had a few days to drive this around town. It was fast before, now it has truly god-like acceleration. Getting from point A to B is now a metaphysical event...
