niterydr, thx for the advice, but please read up on leanburn

"The newer Honda stratified charge (lean burn engines) will operate on air-fuel ratios as high as 22:1. The amount of fuel drawn into the engine is much lower than a typical gasoline engine which operates at 14.7:1, the chemical stoichiometric ideal for complete combustion when averaging gasoline to be the petrochemical industries' accepted standard of C6H8."

everyone on the Megasquirt and DSMAP forums also has conflicting information to what you just said

yes, running lean while under boost creates lots of heat and melted parts, but while idling away on the freeway, running lean cannot damage the engine because there is not enough fuel.

As a matter of fact, you were telling me about how you could lean tune your DSM to 36MPG, I didnt believe you at the time, I have no idea why you have reversed your stance
