(50 words or less) What is the Evo tuning mission statement.

I know very little so here is mine:

To run the leanest mix and as much timing as possible (-2 deg before knock) without any signs of detonation for the desired psi.

OK, show me the real goal so the tuning ignorant (such as myself) can have a better introductory perspective

there is relatively little to be gained by running the leanest mix you can. you might find that with a little more fuel you can find a little more timing. there is around a full point of afr in which the power gain is to small to care about. so the only reason to trim fuel is to save a bit of gas.
but, you are already pretty close to max timing, so a little more fuel for security would be wise.

So: as much timing as possible (-2 deg before knock) without any signs of detonation for the desired psi while keeping A:F just rich enough to cool things off,

Nevermind, I'm just going to pay someone to tune the car like I did in the past
