Find open road, go wot, shut down and coast to a stop, (using heat resistent gloves) pull plugs, read. Not very easy. Main thing to look for tiny fly turds that used to be part of your piston. Get a high magnification jewelers loupe for this.

And back to the original post, 920mv is richer than 14.7:1, that's all you know for sure.

Reading plugs today is just as valid as it was yesterday or 10 years ago, if your tune is close of course the plugs should look ok, it's not called efi for nothing. We're talking WOT here, driving back to the pits would make reading your plugs completely useless if you wanted to see them for your WOT run, you'd have to shutdown completly and not drive it back to the pits not saying the officials would like that your sitting at the end of the strip checking your plugs. I'm not talking about blown applications, nitrous, turbo, etc (too much can go wrong there) and i only said "safe", also said i'd use a WB. FYI getting by at 13.xx today some are actually making more power than 12.x or lower, depends on what you built.

Exactly. Our officials would have our butts towed back with an ATV pretty damn quick.
