i know there were some older hondas that ran leaner the stoich from the factory. i wonder what they did for cats. i will have to read up a bit later. i've read some interesting stuff on gassavers, and a few scientific articles here and there but have yet to find anything really substantial.
let's add it to the list of things to work on.....

my understanding was that they didn't work very efficiently. i think cats help reduce HC emissions by burning unburnt fuel, but lean burn will increase NOx. i have a metal substrate cat and i haven't seen it melt yet

mikie what open loop A/F do you target? i was reading on nasioc that some guys shoot for 16:1 and gain about 2-4 mpg. any more than that and you start losing power. enough to negate the gains.

it's kind of funny how it works- the car idles around 15.5:1 but at cruise, it's closer to 15.2:1. i'll eventually try a little leaner and see how it goes. the other thing people forget is that flame propagation speed is slower when you lean it out past stoich, so you actually need MORE timing to keep cylinder pressures up.
i haven't had too much time to mess with it- so far, on the last two tanks of gas, with mostly highway i've gotten ~23-24 mpg. not too shabby. i need to put my under tray back on too- i think that will help a bit.
