actually, he did say "correct me if im wrong", so at least he did acknowledge that he wasnt sure

and in all reality, he makes a good point that a lot of people over look. running rich is a LOT healthier for your car... if A/F is gonna be off, rich is the side to be off on...

as for freakasis' point, i hadnt thought about all the extra gas causing the cat to get hotter, another excellent point

thats just cuz i think cat's are useless
