Default Is this a safe tune? *cam swap dyno results*



The tuner of this 2002 Corvette w/ G5X4 cam excitingly posted that dyno graph on Thursday of his tune that he 'SPENT SEVERAL DAYS TO PERFECT'. I pointed out the dangerously lean condition to the tuner and got flamed and called a troll in return. Is this a safe tune? I added a red line at the 13:1 mark for reference.

Post #42 shows the dyno graph.

This isn't forced inducted...I would say that it's okay... For a FI application you want somewhere around 11.5 AFR @ WOT... it doesn't have to be as rich on a NA app... Usually you can tune for around 12.5 AFR... it is a litte dangerous but nothing too bad to make it explode... Did he post up anything else such as KR??

It's a little lean for my tastes. You usually make more torque with an AFR around 12.2~12.5 and more power around 12.8~13.0. The top end is close, but he's probably missing out on power down low with the AFR that lean.

I'm not impressed with the afr. If it was read after the cats that would explain some of it.

Probably won't hurt anything if the knock sensors are not not desensitized.
But as SSpdDmn said, it's not optimized for torque down low, but it looks pretty close up top.

Another thing though, Not all wide bands are accurate. Not all exhausts are airleak free, ect.. It isnt really nice to call anyone a troll.
