Default How does dyno AFR compare to the street?

Just a quick ? before I hit the dyno next weekend. I've got a wideband O2 w/ HPTuners and I just wanted to know how the AFR behaves on the dyno vs. on the street. I've got AFR at WOT tuned the way I want it but I heard the dyno is different since it's not the same load on the car as going WOT on the street. In general am I going to be a little lean or a little richer than I am right now? It's going to be on a dynojet 248 if that matters.
TIA

It's usually pretty close. On a Mustang dyno, it's typically the same (dyno vs. street A/F ratio). On a DJ 248, you will sometimes need to tune it just a hair rich on the dyno to be just right on the street. I've heard as much as a .5 swing, but my personal experience has been closer to .1-.2 difference from dyno to street.

DITTO. 12.8 on the dyno, 13.0 on the street.
BTW. you can pretty much hit all the cells on a dyno, even a DJ 248 if it has proportional air control. It drags the brakes on the drum, loads the car like a eddy current dyno, except using the brakes and not electricity. You just cant get the drag (load) as high as you can with the eddy currents.

OK thanks guys, I'm not doing any tuning on the dyno so I dont need to hit all the cells, I was just curious how much the AFR will be off compared to my street tune
