Default air fuel ratio

My car was falling off hard core around 4800 rpms. so i hooked up a wide band and played with some timing. the air fuels were coming off around 13.2 to 14.0 wot I thought thatwas pretty lean. It has 45psi at idlewith pressure regulator unpluged.Anyone no where a good air fuel is onthis thing just for reference


I hooked up the stock air meter for ****s and giggles it was at about 10.2 wot

It has a stock low end,. It has e 303, 1.7 crane rockers, 1.94 intake valve, 1.60 exhaust valve, .0200 milled off the e7s, heavier valve springs, mac shorty headers, straight pipes to flowmaster dumps 24 lb injectors, pro m 75 mm mass air, mac cold air fenderwell ,typhoon upper and lower, 70mm throttle body and egr spacer

I ran a 14.20 with it set at 11.70
Iran 14.60 with it set at 13.20
these where the only things i changed it just felt weaker with the 13.20.
I never ran the car with it set lower than 11.70 but i put it on 11.30 and took it around the block and it didn't like that at all....it huffed and puffed i guess 11.30 was to rich. To really figure it out im guessing you need a dyno or a timeslip.....

14.7 is the theroretical pefect lean/rich.

Most cars run a little better rich of peak in the high 13's
10-11 is where boosted engines run.
