Default Perfect N/A Air/Fuel

Hey guys I have a reflash with all the bolt ons with stock cams and I was wondering what the perfect air/fuel was at WOT. My wideband is saying about 12.0/1 and I thought this was a little rich. The car does really pull though and I haven't had the car dynoed just yet. I hope to when I get back in Florida. Just curious.

12.8 ~ 13.2 from 2500 to Redline is an ideal target AFR for NA.

Is your WB manually re-calibratable or self-calibrating?

Default AEM Wideband

It is the AEM which I think is self calibrating......and I feel kinda safe with it at that air/fuel with the Florida heat.

Yeah, 12:1 NA won't hurt anything no doubt, but you're leaving lots of safe power on the table running so rich afr. For a point of reference - FI on the otherhand, you'd want to run around 10.5:1~11:1.

13.5 is about ideal. I was running 14.5 on my NA and it was a bit lean and it was still nothing too much to worry about.

So what is it ? 12.8 ~ 13.2 or 13.5 ?

I would assume anything from high 12's to low 13's is optimum.

truth is you will vary between a given range. It will never be exactly 13.4 throughout the entire RPM band, but rather fluxuate depending on your mods/tuning. Do you have datalogging capability? Ideally you want 14.7 parts of air per part of fuel, that is the optimum stochiometric ratio. Like Gothchick said, when you go FI though, you want to run a little rich to safegaurd against detonation.

11.0 is as rich as you need to go...as for how lean that depends on you and your tuner. I've always been at 11.8 wot, but thats just me

I'm N/A and running 10.0 to 9.9 on WOT. How can you change this? I have a Cobb Accessport, would that work? Thanks.
