Re: perfect air/fuel ratio? Probably the most desirable AF ratio would be 13.0:1. This would create a stoichiometric atmosphere(not to rich/not too lean)

Re: perfect air/fuel ratio? How did you all determine your WOT air/fuel ratio?
I have ATAP for the Palm and would like to see what mine is currently at. I definately smells rich.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

You can't say how much, but on a NA car I'd guess 15HP or more. You'd see a pretty broad change under the curve.
If you're FI, don't go above 12.5. Generally, I'd stick around 12.0 with FI.

Re: perfect air/fuel ratio? i have a FI set up and it's set at 12.6:1 , the strange thing is i made the most power at 14.1:1 !! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: perfect air/fuel ratio? LOL
Someimes you'll see a little more power up that high, but your chance of detonating is extremely high. Most of the FI I've worked on has been tuned in at about 12.0.

Re: perfect air/fuel ratio? You will make more power with a a/f of 13.2 vs. 12.8 but keep in mind the dyno has less load than actual driving so if you target 12.8 you will probably be around 13.0 on the street/track.
