Stow-ic (Stoic): To be emotionally disconnected, stable, without reaction.

Sto-ike (Stoich): Slang, of an engine to be running at it’s optimal stoichiometric ratio for combustion

I spend too much time in car groups.

Stoich is also a general term for stoichiometry, in chemistry. Same idea as with engines, but more general.

I’ve seen that terminology used for engines, but I had no idea it was pronounced different and had another meaning.
