What is effect of cat on A/F using wideband O2?
When on a dyno using an up the tailpipe wideband O2 sniffer what is typical effect on A/F ratio of a catalytic converter?
Is there a rule of thumb for this?

In the mediam to high RPM at WOT, we have never noticed a measureable difference. This potentially occurs for these reasons, the CATs are designed to operate at a 14.7:1 A/F ratio for proper catylitic action and we should be more rich and the exhaust gas volume/velocity is too much for the CATS to do anything measureable. As far as using two different wide bands for a before/after CAT test, I think the two widebands could each read slightly differently skewing your results. EJ
