I have a vortech supercharged 350z in dominican repuiblic and my car is ending in 12.1 afr i want to know if its ok like my tuner said or is to lean.. I have ling tube header and some adds on... Here fuel have like 87 octane and he said for a not turbo car is ok..sorry for the bad english...
You fuel octane is worse than you A/F ratio. I don't know at what psi you are at but 87oct would require pretty retarded timing. As long as the timing is conservative it's not an issue. As deanfootlong stated, meth would make a pretty big difference in your car.

I do not think there is a drag strip in D.R.
but check with your tuner as you should be at 14.7 A/F at idle
and thru a slow pull up to 4k or so but 12 A/F is good at full boost and near 6 to 7 k Timing advance is the factor that will break your motor.
As stated previously 87 octane is no good the only place in D.R to get better gas is at the local airport.
Aviation gas is a higher octane fuel but burns dryer and not designed for high rpms but in your case much better that 87 if you use both meth injection and av gas along with the proper tune you will see a night and day difference.
By the way what type of tuning system is you tuner using?

The dominican republic is GIGANTIC. It really depends where you go. I've never been there, but have a friend that lived there for a few years and the pics he's shown me look very nice.
