Tried stock FP and bumping it up a bit too. Replaced the O2 sensor twice, both times using heated sensors. I don't know the compression, is there a way to find out? Heads are 87 IROC heads AFAIK

Re: How should this run on a stock tune?

I've checked the plugs, they are white so I do believe the lean condition is true. As for the MAF, I don't really know how to check it. It seems to be reading like I would expect.
