You will be fine, as long as you don't let it go for too long otherwise the plugs can get fouled up, oxygen sensors messed up ........

To the engine, it's safer too rich than too lean, but you can foul your plugs, foul your o2 sensors and wear out your cats.

I was going to ask the same question today. Mine is mostly at 10.6 and sometimes it will dip to 10.2 for a short burst.
