^ not the flames as such, but running too rich (and we're talking pretty damn rich here) over a long period of time can shorten the life of your o2 sensors apart from not being good for the general health of the engine.

i am only rich super rich when i hit redline (because of cutting ignition before fuel) and when i rev match my downshifts.

for cruising, my tuner set it to be a little bit leaner than stock(high 16's at light throttle to low 15's to high 14's doing about a constant 80mph) so i can get better fuel mileage... and because i run EMS, i don't use narrowbands.. so it doesnt matter if i foul my o2's...

in regards to the cops... my exhaust is so loud anyway, it would be an either/or with them
