Default What is the prefered AFR for Turbo 6.0l??

I am running around 6 to 8 psi boost on an STS system. I tow a very big trailer on occasion. When I do tow I lower the boost to 3 psi to keep the EGT's down. here are my questions

1. What is a good SAFE AFR to run?

2. Once the AFR is set at 8 psi will it be richer at 3 psi?

Thats what I thought. I just did mine today and it was 9.5:1... Thats got to be real rich. It dosn't smoke or smell gassy but it is a little sluggish. I just sent Allen an e-mail Im sure he'll fix it for me.

11.5 is considered safe.
