So the principal scientist at Autodesk, the man who invented Maya's Dynamics toolset. Personally answered my question on the Air/Fuel Ratio setting! Geeeeek out!
Here's the link.
Air/Fuel explanation
The downside to this event is that he explained something I've been doing wrong and now I'll feel like I have to update my reel...again.

Lessons learned
I'm going to post this in the interest of lessons learned.
The Treasure Island shoot was a total disaster. I was given a call time of 12 noon and my shot did roll 'till 6pm so I sat around doing nothing all day but watch the crew. By the time we rolled tape I was in a foul mood and to top it all off they didn't block the scene out like i had requested and the camera work was so shaky (to cover the lack of real action) that it will be impossible to pull a good matchmove from the footage.
The lesson is: to VFX supervise you need to INSIST on planning and be an asshole on set sometimes.
Oh well.
