Default ATap basics. What do my values mean?

OK trying to understand how to tune my car with ATap and Edit. Have been doing some various types of logging. I realize my numbers might be slightly off but I'm curious what they are supposed to be telling me.

LTrims- Under part throttle I seem to be around 9-12 which I've heard is high. Does this mean that I am running lean under part throttle and then to compensate the PCM will dump extra fuel under WOT and make me run rich?

STrims- Why am I recording them? What are they telling me? They 0 out WOT.

O2 Sensors- They seem to be a little off. Bank 1 is reading about 905-950 at WOT and Bank 2 is reading 885-925. Why are they so different from each other? Is there a way to fix that? Also what does it mean if I am running high 900s? What about low 800s? Not sure which one is lean and which one is rich.

Your help is appreciated.

Mike B.

</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes you are running lean under part throttle and the PCM is adding fuel and when you hit WOT the Ltrims freeze and you are running rich at WOT

Hi 900s indicate rich and mid 800s indicate lean.
