Ive been playing boros burn for a while and I was wonderiing what you think is the best red to white mana ratio for having 3 chained to the rocks mainboarded, and 1 sideboarded but still having enough mountains to enchant to while still having enough plains to cast my white spells

just run {sacred foundry} and problem solved.
I don't think you under stand my question of course I have 4x sacred foundry, etc, but I'm curious how many more rw dual lands to mountains. Example: I run 12 white sources 4x sacred, 4x Scryland 4x pain. I'm trying to decide if 12 white sources is enough or too much.
That's completely dependant on mana curve. I usually do one mana source per two mana symbols + average mana cost worth of extra lands. Always rounding up.
Example, if you have
2x {Child of the Night}
1 {Vampire Nighthawk}
2x {Soul of Theros}
4x {Soul Mender}
That's four black mana symbols for two swamps, and eight white mana symbols for four plains. The average CMC is 2 and a fuzz so always round up to three extra lands. Give the extra to the colour with the most physical cards. So that'd be three swamps and six plains.
This DOES NOT always work, it's just what I came up with and it usually works. I sometimes give or take lands to get closer to the recommended numbers.
