    You only really want it running rich when you've got your boot in there. Is it fairly close to stoich on the lean side when cruising?

    when you say A/F meter is it a proper wideband display or just a narrow band guage.if it has bigger injectors it should allready be quite rich.the tune can be changed quite easily though it will need a tune for the charger anyway

    how lean are we talking what ratio do you get displayed should be about 14.7 when cruising can be leaner 15.2 ish full throttle should be 13:1 all the way through the revs they love it

    it display's 15.1 when cruising and 13.1 at full throttle is that right and that's the motor rev out to 6000rpm

    are you running both narrowband sensor and wideband sensor in the exhaust or using simulated narrowband off the wideband controller

    Ahhh that was going to be my next suggestion - throw out and replace the o2 sensor
