How are you reading your air fuel ratio? Wide band O2 or stock O2 sensors?

Also, are you reading that AFR on the dyno or on the street?

10.5:1 seems really rich. How many degrees of timing are you running right now?

I'M READING AFR BY WIDE BAND O2 . ON STREET . I PUSH THE CAS FROM 20 MILE FULL THROTTLE TO 144 MILE . THE WIND BAND SHOWS 10.5.


WHAT IS THE BEST ARF NO. FOR MORE POWER AND SAFE DAILY DRIVE ?

10.5 isn't that bad and surely is safe.I run mine at
11.5-1 at 3000rpm
11-1 at 4500rpm
10.5-1 at 5000+ rpm

I think my track times speek for themselves

Well, again, IIRC you blew something in your motor last time? So maybe 10.5 is a nice safe number for you as Slowhawk indicates. You can probably get away with being leaner in the lower RPMs to generate more power, but that's a broad generalization I'm making. You really should do some data logging/tuning/testing to determine what your optimum ratio/timing setup is.

I would lean it out a bit and it will probably work a little better for you. On the other hand, I wouldn't be too crazy about 15 at idle either.

MRC5,
I was following the previous threads about the dead motor when you got into boost, but never heard what blew on your motor. What exactly went wrong?

May have been my mistake, I thought I remembered something breaking in the motor. Maybe I am getting senile in my age.
