As long as it's not in the low 13's or above, then you're ok. 12.6-12.8 is where the S197 makes the most power at WOT. It's your call if you want to pay for another dyno run or 2 to re-adjust it.

12.8-13.0 Is the best, leave it where you are. Only change it if by some slight chance that you experience a ping...but you shouldnt...max power is found in and around 12.9...so your quite good...

Any higher than what you are right now and you would experience problems, but your more than ok! Go out and enjoy!

11.8 is good for a juiced or possibly a S/C S197, but it's too rich for one that's N/A, andwill result in power loss as compared to 12.6-13.0.
