Default What A/F Ratio has been the sweet spot?

Ok, folks tell me what A/F on the dyno gave you the best power. I'm running a N/A heads and cam MAC headers. Might make another tune for nitrous runs, any request for those ratio's?

Getting ready to dyno tune some things so need info to be ready for the tune.

12.5 N/A

11.5 N20/Boost

The dyno doesn't "load" your car the way the street does, so .3 richer helps.

Another thing, most dyno operators just sniff from the tail pipe, I've seen a .2-.3 difference from the O2 bung by the header to the tail pipe.

12.5 to 13.5 for "high" dyno #'s depending on setup. 12.2 -12.5 for the fastest track/street tune.

Yea everyone has summed it up above. I find mid 13's at the bottom end then pumping it up to mid to high 12's for the middle and top end.
