Default Do Timing Changes Afffect A/F Ratios

Tuned the A/F ratio on the dyno. I wanted to take the car out on the street to test timing under load. If I add timing, will it affect my A/F ratio? Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes timing does affect A/F. If you added timing it will most likely lean out your A/F depending on how much was added.

Have Fun,

Mike

Is there a rule of thumb, like 1 degrees equals .1 point of air fuel? Car is a stock cube forced induction car.

No general rule of thumb as there are way to many things to consider. It depends on many things like where you are already at in timing, if you're experiencing any spark knock, where your A/F was already etc...etc....
