Yea, running unsafe AFRs at high load is what worries me. It doesn't take a lot to hit high load cells in the fuel map (doesn't need to be WOT either).... so depending on your driving style, it might happen more often than not. And if you're buying an intake, chances are you are going to be more prone to drive aggressively.

I've seen what a motor with hot spots in the cylinders can do. Not fun. No one likes dumping money into a car if they don't have to.
