that's about where you want it for a street car. you could run leaner and get some more power but you would be closer to the edge. one bad tank of gas and you might say bye bye.
I asume that was WOT? what was your boost at? HP number?

This is not an answer to the original question but for the inquiries about the usefulness of , say, the Autometer type gauge: http://www.autospeed.com/A_0618/P_1/article.html

Autometer gauges are just fine for accuracy if you only want to observe stoichometer which I think is around .4 volts. Any reading above that will be inaccurate and any reading below that will be inaccurate. How high and how low above and below that figure I know not. I never bought one because I came to the conclusion it ain't worth it. I use a cheap digital meter to read mine on occasion. Finaly came to the conclusion that I need a wideband sensor and meter, and decided to buy the one from Austraila from DIY. I forget the name right now. Away from my home computer. EDGETECH is the name but I don't have the url right now. Anyway, back to the subject. If I read .9 on a Autometer or whatever meter, what good is that info if its the wrong info?????????? Must be some good because so many people have those meters on this site, but I can't figure what good it is. Read this thread https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...threadid=47104
