proper afr my friend is an idiot he thinks 11.8 to 1 is an ok afr for a cammed n/a ls1. I know this is better than being to lean but an afr this rich is robbing power. I understand for a nitrous/fi application this would work and perhaps be on the lean side. I have been tuning for a couple months and have read two books and have yet to hear of an n/a car that makes peak power that rich. i know every car is different but this is merely a pissing contest. please chime in with your vote. is he right or am i. by the way he swapped out his 305 after he missed a shift and spun a bearing. he had to put in a new and got it run so he thinks he's pretty handy. we now call him ase certified charlie
It really comes down to how accurate ur wideband is - A wideband that is off by .5 might need to be close to 12.5 As You could be running .5 rich, or lean at any given time. If he is working with something worse than .5 then maybe that is why he wants 11.8?

u guys missed the point he doesnt tune period and made a generalized statement on which he has no knowledge. i know 12.7 to 13.1 is used for max power in n/a apps. i am just tired of listening to him talk about **** with which has no real knowledge hence his nickname. i build all my cars myself but because he was ase certified for brakes he thinks knows everything and i just want to take him down a peg. he always has some criticism and iwanted to brake him a little

knock his *** out!!! lmao.. naw.. Everyone thinks they know something alittle better that someone else.. hell he might even put his pants on both legs at the same time.. but still, does that make it any better than how you do it?
Like you said AFR can vary alot, and without a Dyno, and your wideband it would be hard to support either side of what your saying, but if you want to put an end to this, just put it on the rollers, get some numbers on his idea of good, then plug in your tune, and see who really makes the power..
Wish I could help more than that.

So as I reread your original post, you merely want us to vote who is right, you or him? If you want a vote, then put up a poll. You then receive far more meaningful data from members (some who actually DO tune) and you complain?
