By the time the temp gauge move on the 80, it is to late. Temperature is not an indication that you are not detonating.
How much are you leaning it out? How do you quantify it? If you double the fuel mileage, you have to be taking 50% of the fuel away and adding something to make up for it. Otherwise it won't have the same power.

3) the Optimizer- this is a little piggy back computer I wire in front of your ecu. it lets it lean out your fuel and not think something is wrong and richen it automatically and get same mileage as stock even with the mods. this does not effect DTC's or MIL's (check engine light) and you still have the safety of open loop (your computer has the ability to revert to factory settings at any time if it thinks a sensor is broken, all factories put this in its pretty cool)

Open loop is not the safety of the ECU. Limp mode is. Open loop mode is determined from a set of parameters, all or most of which you have modified. So open loop will not occur as the factory determined it. So how can you rely on open loop to save your motor?
