You would get better responses posting this in the Nitrous section. People are going to tell you to read the plugs instead of just relying in air/fuel ratio.

in my experience watching the air fuel is almost useless since they seem to peg RICH, whereas the wideband is actually more precise......

reading the plugs is a very good way of determining function watch #6 and #8 plugs close they will tell more than the rest since they lean out the worst.

11:1 is too rich IMO, put a big shot running that rich and you'll lift a ringland

nitrous doesn't need to be run very rich, you need to run conservative timing and run good gas.

too rich is bad, too lean is bad. but the worst is too much timing.
