OKay just got my wideband in...and its running rich biiig time! Well I get around 250 KM per tank (55-60ish liters)


Okay Temp outside is 61*F today
Car temp was at 180ish
Car timed for N2O

IDLE...14.7:1ish
1500ish-1800 14.7-15.2:1

WOT...drops down to 10.1 then climbs to about 10.9:1 but then after I get off it is leans out to max on the gauge and wont read and the exhuast pops

How can i lean this sucker out a bit??

What is you A/F with the N2O on?

Sounds like you just need to get a good dyno tune

I never installed it on the car...it was set up from the truck it was in before and i never got around to changing the timming (since i just got tunercat and dont know how lol )

Also i beleive i have a small exhaust leak just after my Y pipe....(wideband is installed at the end of the Y)

Assuming you have some way to correlate RPM with the wideband data, you want to modify the %change A/F Ratio at WOT vs RPM table.

Lower numbers result in a leaner mixture.

The generally accepted formula is:
AFR = 14.7 / (1 + (% change WOT vs coolant temp / 100) + (% change at WOT vs RPM/100))

The two %change variables are the values in the two PE tables (coolant temp and RPM). Using this formula with the stock numbers you can see that the targeted a/f on the stock tune is in the low 11s which is around what you were reading (within a margin of error).

You may also find the spreadsheets on this page useful:

ok well that table makes sense from your observed data but, do you understand how to use that formula to get the a/f you want?
