well before you can tune your car with an O2 sensor don't put it in the negative, just leave it at 0, you know it works when the **** light up as you go through the rpms...

No, if you hooked up correctly the **** will light up, but I just don't want you to lean it out and blow your enginel, though once you see an O2 widband you should be able to tune it correctly which usally involves leaning it out with N/As

Just for your info an a/f ratio meter really won't help you with tunning, but if your running really lean itllay show, seriously my A/F meter doesn't do much, if you tune it correctly then you wwon't need one

AF gauges that run off a single or two wire generic o2 sensor shouldnt be used for tuning. They have very coarse readings. Pay the 40$/hr to get on a dyno with a wideband o2.

Their is no point in having a S-AFC if you aren't going to dyno tune it.

Yeah, you'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever need that much fuel on a stock port N/A.
How much extra hp can you push out of an N/A by just leaning out the mixture?

The stock ECU richens fuel mixtures a little too much for the N/A. Most people who have an N/A and get an S-AFC lean the mixture. This results in better economy and due to proper mixtures, more power. I've heard leaning out the mix can give approx 8-10 hp.
