Actual AFR's to match AFR on fuel map?
With properly scaled MAF and injectors the values should be >90% dead-on, except when fueltrim modulations are in action (e.g. acceleration enrichment). 100% Load should be equivalent with "boost = atmospheric pressure", otherwise many corrections and modulations aren't triggered correctly and also calculations on injector timings aren't correct.
I had to adjust both (MAF/inj.) from scratch as i'm using E7/8 ECU with E9 injectors and E4 MAF on a slightly modified Galant VR4 engine. For scaling I disabled as much modulations as possible and later just had to fine-tune temperature compensation over the year.
Now my wideband-o2 readings are ~95% equal to the fuel map values (+/- 0.1) - except for acceleration/deceleration and sometimes on idle which i think is related to idle rpm stabilisation.
Tuning gets A WHOLE LOT easier when your map values correspond to the actual AFR.
Especially functions like lean-spool rely on this, as the clipping values are taken from your fuelmap! E.g. if you are a lot leaner than map, lean spool could lean out the mixture way too much. If you are running a lot richer, acc. enrichment could make the mixture too rich, eventually causing misfiring and also boost built-up is negatively affected (12.5 is perfect).
If your o2 readings are way off, check the exhaust system for leaks! You have to be 100% sure the wideband sensor is reading the actual o2 values from the exhaust gas, not from any additional fresh air being sucked in on a damaged gasket or flexpipe! Also check for air leaks behind the MAF (injectors!!). Everything from the MAF up to your o2 sensor has to be gas-tight!

any update on this? im still learning how to fully understand SD, i tuned my car with SD but the tables dont fully match.
everything you read online seems a little complicated.....there gotta be a easier way to get it working somewhat properly.
