That will be fine but I would get it to 11-1 while you set the timing then lean it out.

I usually shoot for 12.0:1 with boost and then 11.5:1 on Meth. I've had a few cars running 10-12lbs that really l liked 12.2:1, and some that really liked 11.8:1. With good heads and bottom end, you should be fine between there. To find out the best AFR for your set up, you're going to have to play around a little. I've had a few cars running 10-12lbs that really l liked 12.2:1, and some that really liked 11.8:1.
