It really depends, how did you tune it? Did you use a wideband airfuel gauge? How do you know what your air fuel mix is? How much boost are you running? If the answer is more then 4 lbs then I suggest you do not drive it.

yes its tuned with a wideband, and im not sure how many pounds, i have yet to install my boost gauge, it seems like 5 pounds though, at higher rpm's i can smell it running rich and lean.
