What does stoich mean?

[Dave Zug]

sooo start the spark table FLAT and tune the fuel for 
EGT(substituted for o2, the "stoich" link in this thread), then 
advance the spark until detonation then back off a click? <??> I may 
be starting way too low on darwin's scale for you to want to go on 
and I don't blame you.

the calibration values that the manufaccturer has arrived at are done 
with formulas then tweaked with dyno's or what??
