Yeap, 13 - 14 at idle is good in my opinion.

That is richer than what you'd often want at WOT under some boost!

Stock ports should idle well in the high 13s without too much issue. With a working BAC valve (and why wouldn't you have such a thing?!) then into the 14s will be possible as the BAC will compensate if the idle starts to drop due to loads. I've found that counter to most advice, the rotary likes advance at idle...about 8-10 degrees on stock ports. I run about 15 degrees on my bridgeport and it idles well around 14:1.

Oh, the stock ECU runs the engine fairly rich under idle. Around high 12s in most cases. The air injection from the air pump will make the O2 reading full lean though.

a higher volume fuel pump will make it idle richer too
