I have never heard anyone talk about it. Who suggested changing the values and why? Maybe they can tell you what you need to modify.

Lean A/F ratios cause cats to run hot and burn themselves up. When the PCM thinks the cats may be getting too hot, it adds fuel to richen up the A/F mixture in an attempt to save the cats. If your cats are gutted, there is no reason to leave it enabled. If you are using TC OBD2 Tuner, there is a parameter for Min Coolant Temp For COT. Just set that value to a high value that you will never reach to disable COT.

I stick around here to learn, too. Programming has so many parameters, it's hard to keep up. I don't mess with it too much. I did see the A/F ratio setting for the cat temp. I guess it makes sense.
