hey guys sr20 redtop, it needs a tune but im currently trying to find a tuner in my area, well long story short she idles at 15.1 in boost its around 14.9 (i know its lean)
how bad would it be to daily the car for a week or two until i find a tuner, car has basic bolt ons and stock tune/psi. thoughts?

14.9 in ANY load situation is off the charts! For pump (on turbo engines) I keep it in the 11.2-11.6 range in boost. 15 is good for vacuum/cruising conditions. 12 in boost is where "ideal" is (and I have the math to back it up), but that is left up to interpretation among who tunes what. ANything over 12.5:1 on pump gas and that engine is a ticking time bomb!

For N/A engines I run about 13-13.5:1.

GET THAT THING TUNED OR JUST BURN SOME $$$$
