Thanks, I'm pretty excited about the numbers. However, one thing I'm not excited about, I have the infamous "ticking" noise. I searched and came across the thread you started and I fit right in. The tick is very noticeablr from 1800-2500 RPM's, and I can even hear it at idle if I really listen to for it. After reading the thread you started, I guess it's normal, pretty sad!
My car was much richer than yours from the factory. At 11.5:1 A/F mine made 352/351
Wow, that's pig rich. Mine is a lot leaner than that, but not to lean. However, I'm a bit worried when I put on an intake the car will probably run to lean without a tune...

Looks like youre at 13:1 across the board that is about as lean as you wanna get on a dyno. From what Ive been told from a few reputable tuners, is that your A/F will lean out half a point under load on the street.
So yeah, if you put a vararam or a serious intake on there, you may wanna put it at 12.5:1 on dyno. Im at 12.5 for that reason.
Great #'s for stock, I think if your A/F was around 11.5 you would been around 350 rw, which is the norm.

13:1 across the board??? My A/F is at 12:5:1 at 5.5K. It's below 13 from 4.5K to redline. I know it might be hard for you to see because you don't have the graph in front of you.
Even though the car has no modifications, do you think the previous owner had the car tuned?

So yeah, it looks like the previous owner tweaked the A/F, looks like a good tweaking, though.
Yeah it seems tuned, like a few others previously stated, factory A/F seems to be around 11.5, presumably for safety and longevity. I think youll be fine with an intake. Slap one on there.
