Afr Question

so this has came to my attention lately, i've never paid attention to my afr when im racing, so i never knew AFR increase as rpm increase. in 3rd and 4th when WOT at 3500rpm my afr shows 11.3 but it increase slowly, at 7000rpm the afr shows 12.3! is that normal? im running 23psi on 93octane right now. and yes i have walboro 255 and tuned

Atleast your air fuel ratio reads a number. My air fuel ratio reads lean stoich or rich only. I must of bought a cheap autometer one.

i have an aem wideband also and that happens to me past 7000rpms it afrs start raise up at peak boost i hit 12.0 and at slowly decreases to 11.2 then starts to go up to 12.3 something like that but i think its normal cause there is less boost up top the less boost the less fuel the ecu dumps!

thats a little much for pump. do u know how much boost ur making up top? and usually the mix gets fat up top not the other way.
