The "classic" n/a WOT AFR is 13.0:1, however here in Florida I head for 12.5:1 as it lets me run a bit more spark advance in the heat. My winter, or what passes for winter here, tune is closer to 13:1.

I run 12.8:1. I think 13:1 is a little bit too lean for my tastes. Im not all out race car. Im looking for more reliable quick street car. But definitly no higher than 13:1.
