Default Dynoing on Saturday - RESULTS INSIDE

So I have a 9am appt on Saturday to get some baseline (well not exactly baseline anymore) runs in to see what kind of numbers I am putting down with the intake, tune, and pulleys. I am really looking to also make sure that my A/F numbers are good.

So I am wondering what type of range am I looking for. I know that optimal (from what I have read) is between 12.5 and 13.3. But what is a safe range? And other than some hp loss is it okay to run a little on the richer side? I know that lean can be really bad, but a little rich is okay right?

I don't see any point in running richer. I think the numbers stated are a good range and the tuner can make sure that they are in that range throughout the powerband

I made my best runs with the a/f at 12.8, I leaned it out a hair(added timing)and it lost power, these 3 valvers like it to be a tad on the rich side. 12.7-13.0 A/F is best for these car's

Looks good! Doesn't look like any timing was pulled Your torque dropped big time after 5,000 rpms though, you want the torque curve to stay with the rpm/power band a tad longer than that but over all looks good.

Is that a good HP rating for those mods?

Actually yes. For just a CAI and UDPs, that's respectable.
