Default Ideal Air/fuel ratio's

What is an ideal a/f ratio... Mine is currently running about 13-13.2 from 3.3k to the fuel cutoff.. I'm sure this is a safe tune.. What levels can i take this too, and at what point should i begin to worry..

I have been told that 12.5 to 12.8 is ideal at WOT.

I run mine at 12.1-12.3 at WOT. I have CATS up under the firewall so they like to be kept moist. Too hot and the O2 sensors will be affected, as well as risking a false lean condition.

12.8-13.0 or even slightly leaner on the street is fine for the most part. If your running 13.3 on a dyno t hats a different story.

I'm 12.8-1 at WOT from 2500-6800 rev limiter across the board on the dyno. A tad higher 13.0-1 on the street.
