A/F Ratio - ATap vs Wideband

A/F Ratio - ATap vs Wideband
Take a look at these two pictures. I ATapped this car on the dyno today. Look at the A/F graph vs what ATap logged B1S1 and B2S1. Does this look right? The wideband looks pretty good, but the ATap log looks really lean. Any comments?

wideband > ATAP. alot of guys freak out when they see a really lean or rich read out from atap, then once they get on the dyno w/ wideband they find out its not so bad.
getting a bit of KR there, is that false knock or indeed true knock

Is this a usable number for tuning (.7 - .8 mV range?) for his car?

What about the calibration on the wideband. The last time this car was on this same dyno, it showed an A/F of around 16:1. I did not ATap it that time. I think the only change to the car between the 2 dynos was MACs/ORY was removed and Pacesetters/ORY installed. Mike, try and find that chart and post it. Also, if the ATap O2s are so wrong, why are the LTrims so high.

This is happened to me almost 2 years ago. Had the car dyno tuned after the cam install (no headers yet, I know I did it backwards). Had no KR, 29-30* timing and 02's around .840. Went to the track to run it and there I get KR just like you. High 3's in KR. Went back to the tuner and this time we did the fine tuningon the street. He was in the car and recorded with A-Tap. We would stop, he would do a few changes with Edit and then A-Tap it again. He did his little tweeks until he was happy.
After reading posts on here it seems that some tuners are now doing a dyno tune to get the baseline. Then they go out on the street to fine tune it. When on the dyno, the load is not as great as when on the street. This is why you got no KR on the dyno but had some on the street.
I am no tuner but this actually make sense to me but then again I could be all wrong.

Hey glenn, shoot me an email, I lost your email address. I wanted to talk to you about the tuning we did a month or so ago with EDIT....
To the subject, If I remember right, Briand and I were getting O2 mV readings that were a ways off of the wideband we were using. We didnt do any other testing though to see why the difference was there...

I think you are still running way lean. With my wideband reading 12.9-13.1 on the street the o2's on atap were .905-.915 mV. No way is a .7 something reading equivalent to 12.8 af. I have tuned seven cars and this was always the case. Richen that thing up before you detonate the motor apart like I did. Stock pistons hate knock, and a lean condition will cause knock. Just take this as my .02

i would be suspect of the dyno's wideband.. especially after the second graph you posted where the dyno's wideband is completely wacko.
you are not running enough timing to have detonation if the dyno is right.. therefore i would agree with the a/f the factory is outputting..
i 100% disagree. i would put money on the factory sensors being closer to correct based on the knock.. unless its false knock.. looks too much to be false to me. add some fuel anyway, watch the knock go away and hp go up..
