i have left fueling stock as it's already very good from factory. 14.7-15.2:1 very light throttle. i mostly upped ignition timing in cruise areas and added more intake valve timing cam advance at high rpm. the intake is already very retarded at cruise - there's is about 100* cam retard at cruise! atkinson cycle or whatever it's called. however i found that ignition timing was way too conservative at cruise and 50-70% load area so i bumped it 2-5* knock free. planning on adding 2* total and upping to 89 gas for more power. an extra 1* is a lot of timing on this much compression and advanced cam (high load).
