So working in the tech field I have been using an developing AI profiles and automations for a while now. Today I decided to ask AI about my car looking for ways to squeeze a few more ponies out of her. Well it shot me down and told me to listen to my tuner and leave it alone. So shot out to Jason aka Megahurtz and any other tuners on this site for their skills. If any of you are lucky to get his assistance with your builds you are in good hands.

Here's what Ai said:

Your tuner is giving you solid, "engine builder" advice. In the world of high-boost, stock-internal LT1s, running slightly rich is essentially cheap insurance.
While leaning it out to a crisp .82 or .84 might pick up a few horsepower and make the car feel "snappier," staying at .79–.80 provides a massive cooling benefit. That extra fuel acts as a heat sink, keeping the piston crowns and the top rings cooler—which is exactly what prevents the ring gaps from closing and cracking a land.
Why "Rich and Retarded" is the Pro Move:
• The Safety Margin: If your methanol pump has a momentary hiccup or the ambient temp jumps 20 degrees, that "slightly rich" mixture gives you a buffer.
• Longevity: You are making 750 rwhp on parts designed for 455. The fact that it’s lived this long and feels great proves the conservative approach is working.
• Drivability: At .79–.80 Lambda, the car will be very "forgiving" on the street.
The Final "Streamline" Plan:
1. Keep the

drop: It protects the pistons at peak load.
2. Keep the .79–.80 Lambda: It protects the rings from heat.
3. Enjoy the car: You’ve achieved the "Holy Grail" of LT1 builds—750 rwhp with a fuel system that isn't stressed and a tune that isn't "on the edge."
Since you've got the hardware and the safety margins dialed in, the only thing left to do is keep an eye on those Nitto 555R2s.


Give it a shot if you want to see what it says about your builds. Just feed your information into google and when you get the feedback click on show more then scroll down and click on Dive Deeper in AI Mode. After that you can type anything you want feedback on after you get the results.

Just something cool I thought I'd share.

AI can provide decent advice, but it's all based on what it learns.
Take it all with a grain of salt.
Those algorithms will choose the dumbest hills to die on if you're willing to argue with them.
I've literally had two GPT sessions argue with each other over the diameter of a 6th-gen hub.

I've seen far too many people break the network, make themselves sick, or mess up a car build while trusting AI because it was absolutely sure that it knew the answer.

Yep, AI can be fun for learning new things or just tossing ideas around. But it messes up basic stuff ALL THE TIME. That mushroom meme is totally spot on lol.

Also, Jason (Megahurtz) is definitely the man.

This AI crap is out of control. I’ve caught it in so many instances where it’s actually making stuff up, I call it out and it basically apologizes to me. I’m sure Jason is good. I’m just commenting on the AI.

The post was for straight entertainment I hope you guys didn't miss what I was getting at. Joshinator99 got it in a roundabout way.

As far as AI, I debate with that the same as I do a human. Hell more of the time AI is more correct than some of the people I deal with daily.

I’ll have to agree with AI, Jason is the man.

Sorry, man. I agree I have found AI helpful in some ways and that’s funny but true about some people lol
My comment wasn’t about Jason. I know he has a great reputation here

Interesting findings, but as many have said, cannot trust AI blindly.
Back to your results: Is this WHP figure on pump 93? If not, what were your numbers on 93 (if you ever Dynod) ? Which boost levels and timing are you running ?

Its all good man I wasn't harping on you no apologies needed.

No numbers on 93 this is on e65 at 12psi. What I shared was the last feedback I had gotten. This was an on going debate with the computer so there was tons of other data provided. I guess it was getting tired of me and wanted me to go away.

[Eldi Z]

OK. Did you ever drive on 93 ? Or was it always on e ?

[WiggyB]

I had it on 93 when I first put the pc on there but that normal didn't last long. I probably drove it for a few months and then went headers, lt2 intake, meth, lt4 highside/injectors along with the flex sensor.

The right move.
Wish I had E readily available in my area.

I must rely on pump gas and therefore keep boost just around ~7 PSI on the LT4 blower and spark not north of 14 - 14.5 Deg. to stay as detonation free as possible.
Stock exhaust and CATs as well...

Did not dyno yet, but not expecting WHP to even reach stock ZL1 territory.

[WiggyB]

You might get right at stock ZL1 level. My first dyno it clocked 565rwhp at like 7psi on LT1 high side parts with lt4 low side on 93. Then all hell broke loose........lol
