That's really rich for a N/A car. A conservative tune is 13:1 with the tailpipe sniffer. You're leavin' some power on the table if that's your WOT A/f ratio.

I'm not sure where your getting 11.2:1 Todd, your A/F ratio at the shop the other day was a low 13. It's about 13.2 on the graph I posted, which is probably closer to 12.7 or so at the engine.

Was it 11.2 at CAM or something? Am I missing something? I feel like I'm left out of the loop, lol.

11.2?? Must not be too many mosquito's left in your neighborhood.

A lot of roadrace guys are running 13.2-13.5 w/out any problems. (mine on the final blue run was around13.7 at the tailpipe) Plugs look good and no knocks.

I think 11.2:1 is his CR ratio

Sorry, I thought the 14:1 was a joke on a really high CR that AFR was using?

Nah, he was talking about air to fuel ratio.

We've run leaner A:F ratio's on turbo cars. More in the 12.5:1 ratio. 11.2:1 is pretty rich.
