Injector seals? What does this have to do with running rich? The car would make better power at 11.8-12.0 but it seems that unless you can run absolute timing then you are a little too close to the ragid edge for most tuner's likes.

I always thought FI hp/tq were best seen with an A/F of 11.8-12.0, therefore your car should feel a lot faster in colder temps if your a/f ratio gets close to 12.

to me 10.8 is way too conservatively for my taste. I believe if u are running that rich, u are washing out the rings or seals surround the injectors bc your injectors are working harder and flooding the engine. Not sure if i'm saying it right but I could be wrong.

you are not doing any harm running that rich aside from wasting some gas and not making as much peak power as you can...but also comes down to timing as well
