is it possible to be TOO lean?
it seems im around 13.5 ish WOT afr this season so far. But I have no KR to speak of. Im down on power some (et and mph down) after an ls6 intake swap and was wondering if maybe the leanness is part of the problem.
Thanks

Otherwise, you may have an exhaust leak upstream of the sensor...if you do, your readings cannot be trusted. Even a small leak from my band clamps caused reading errors - I fixed it by moving the sensor to my header. The only reason I knew it was a leak was because idle would show some very erratic results (on the lean side).

its still set to instant, i just need to slow down the sampling rate some. its pretty much dead nuts w/ my commanded AFR its just that it looks like a switching o2 right around the commanded AFR which is probably good and just a high sampling rate issue (i hope)
