What's a safe Air to Fuel Ratio?
What's a safe Air to Fuel Ratio for naturally aspirated Scion tC?
Are 13's too high? Will it damage the car?

14.7:1 is a stoich ratio (perfect burn) for good fuel. For the fuels you normally get and normal driving conditions, you will see various numbers, but 13:1 isnt too lean by any means NA.
And you gave all of 2 minutes between each post.. give people time to actually read your posts

Actually for Best Mean Torque a Max of 13.5 is the theorical limit for N/A cars. You start at 12.8 thgen work u'r way up until the EGTs gets to the limit, then test the car at the street and the track and make adjusments. It is all dependant on the fuel u use, altitud and blha blha blha, more things. All this at WOT of course, at crusing speeds, 14.7 is okay.

He is of course asking for an AFR to tune, my logic tells me he is asking about how lean he can go when tuning. I'm telling him. Also, try to run 14.7AFR at 6,000 RPM for some time, then tell me what happens.

At WOT you want around 12.5:1 - 12.8:1
At idle you can have it anywhere from 14.7:1 - 15.5:1
If your on a chassis dyno and looking at your a/f ratio you might see readings a little higher, perhaps a point higher due to the load the dyno is having on your car. Chassis dynos can sometimes have a lighter laod on your car than when you drive it on the street.
