Default Newb question on wideband readings

Hello, i just installed an LC1 wideband guage in my car this past winter and have started driving it now. Im running aftermarket heads, cam, 58mm t-body, bigger injectors ect. I sent the computer into waitforme for a mail order tune just to drive it until i get a real tune done. Just wondering if my wideband readings are ok to drive for a month or so. Here they are:

Idle: ~17-18:1
Highway cuising(60mph, 1500rpm)~15.5:1
WOT~13.1-13.5:1
Moderate accel~14.5:1

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

I suggest you chk with waitforme , I think your WOT is a little lean, I think you should be about 12.5 t0 12.8
I would not do many WOT with it in the 13s , but you should beleave he knows more than I

Its lean under WOT - I wouldn't be beatin on it... if it is a closed loop tune for you to drive it till you can get a tune, it will be fine - but that means you aren't even supposed to be going WOT...

I believe, if I have read correctly, that 12.7 to 13 is perfect for WOT and 14.7 is correct for idle to moderate throttle. So if any thing it looks like your idle is what is lean. I would ask waitforme though, before I took these guys word for it or mine.LOL

13.1 to 13.5 is leaner than 13... so by your own account, it is lean at WOT... but don't take my word for it, I've only tuned hundreds of these cars... what do I know
