Cruise too lean?
Okay, i have asked this question by threadjacking and not gotten a straight answer. Can a very lean (18:1) cruise cause you problems? i.e. burnt exhaust valves or pistions? I do not have an egt gauge

there's a honda tuner advancing time way up and running like 19:1. Its not a gamble I'm going to take on my nice motor. I'm running at 15.3:1 now and noticed about 2mpg gain...getting me up to a whopping 25mpg now on highway.

heres a quick read. according to their rsx, 15.7:1 was the best

wouldn't the best way to do this be to log duty cycle at 15:1, 16:1, and 17:1 for the same drive at the same speed?
