Default A/F ratio ? - dyno graph inside

I don't know much about A/F ratios except that by adjusting it you can make more HP.

Looking at this graph I have, it looks like my A/F is high 13's.

But at the top it says Max Air/Fuel = 17.5

Can someone clue me in?

hmmmmmm, dunno, looks like your power curve peak is sort of matching the A/F number, thus the 17.5 reading, but the A/F on the graph shows 13.5 across the board. If your A/F was 17.5..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

And do i need to get it back on the dyno to do it (check it)?
