Default Question about A/F Rato

Can someone give me ideal targets for an air fuel rato for a street driven head / cam car? Should the a/f remain constant across the rpm curve or get progressivey richer as the rpm increases? I'm a real know not on this and I would appreciate some basic spoon feeding.

My current dyno sheet shows I'm at 14.5 @ 2500 dropping to 13.0 @ 3200 and leveling out at 12.4 from 5000 - 6500.

How does this sound?

On a street driver on cruising speeds it should be in the 14 range and as you go to WOT it should go to the 12.4 range.

This was my dyno tuned LT1 motor, with a automatic (locked) so I got a low pull. It was a mail order tuned hot cam vs a larger emissions legal grind with dyno tune.
