Default What is the optimum Air/Fuel Ratio for our cars??

I tried searching couldnt find anything. But I am gettin a tune soon and wanted to know what ratio do I look for for maximum power? Mods in Sig. I heard 12.9-13.1 is it. Do you tuners agree??

sometimes sacrificing maximum horsepower for a "safe" more conservative tune is what you might wanna think about...

that being said, mines a conservative 12.8 across the board...

and I'm saying this assuming you are N/A and not FI...

All setups will vary. My car made the same at 12.8 as it did at 13.0, so it was left at the richer/safer 12.8.

Just get it on the dyno, see what it likes, and leave it where it makes the most power while still being safe.
