Default "Air/fuel ratio"

What's a good air/fuel ratio for a FI vette under boost.

Thanks

In my particular application using the ATI Procharger P1 system (unmodified) on a stock LS2 engine, 11.8:1 when in boost yielded best HP (510rwhp) and drivability, without ANY knock induced timing. This tune was done for 91 octane California gas. Car has only a ported stock manifold and Magnaflow cat back, and is otherwise stock. Headers (and maybe heads and cam) are on the way, so I will have a chance to see how this will affect A/F ratio, and what adjustments will be needed.

A/F @ 12.4 on a very conservative tune.

So in Your opinion Tom,12.4 -12.5 is not uncommon?
I would like a little more RWHP,and I'm mixing in about 5 gals of 100 octane with each tankfull!

Is this a reading from wideband 02 sensor plugged into the 02 bung on one of the headers, or tail pipe sniffer?

I would add an ECS Alky Kit and tune for 11.5-11.8 as running meth is so much cheaper than that 100 octane fuel in every tank. I go through about a gallon of meth every other tank, it is $4 a gallon here. It also lowers the IATs big time, raises the octane and keeps the internals clean. I have had my kit on for 4200 miles and my car runs better now than when I had it tuned at 1k

Geroge, have Doug check it on the wideband for accuracy.
