If you on crap fuel the iam may actually go down to 0.5 or less,especially driving in lower rpm range and applying quick throttle applications.

The difference between runs at iam 0.5- 0.7 to 1 could be arround 8hp

Most tuners will set iam initial to 1 in thier tunes so after a reset ecu runs full timing. ie reset the ecu on a tuned car and iam will start at 1 not 0.7 like stock tune

Its a trick\trap that can make tunes look better\worse than they are
You missed the part in my post where I said reset brings the aim to .7 .

The fact that it made no diff in power means my aim before the reset was around .7
