I need to weigh it again with all the changes, but I don't think it has actually changed much(if anything I think it might be slightly lighter)..... Last time it weighed 3040 with me in it and my big ass is 280 of that.....

It was exactly the same as the 11.20 pass..... 13lbs and 15 deg timing in boost..... It's on a real safe tune, just look at the A/F.....

I'm still learning about the turbo setup cars. I've only owned one and i didn't fuck with it. So pretty much when the A/F is between 9.5 and 12.5 your safe? When you're A/F is lower(9.0-9.5) the car is running pretty rich then, right? The higher the leaner?

The higher the number the leaner..... Most guys target 11.5 to 12.0 with boost, I like to play it safe and stay between 11.0 to 11.5..... If it's in the nines it's pig rich, my last turbo car was 9.2 the first pass and it sounded like it had boat water exhaust.....
