Arrow Reading A/F from wideband + Logworks3

I have the Innovate LC1 wide-band, and DB gauge...

Wondering, are the AF's suppose to read different in each gear? Is it best to do pulls in M mode, as S mode seems to kick down? What should the numbers be for each gear?

Anyone have experience using Logworks3 for data logging the AF's?

If anyone needs to know my mods are Kleemann 168, EC tune, split cooling, bigger HE/pump, 2nd cat and res delete, xpipe.

thanks guys

Not gears but rpm. The higher the rpm, the lower the number you want to see and must be at WOT run. On your car, it should be no higher then 12.0:1 up to redline.

You by chance have a pic of where you installed the bung / 02 sensor for the Innovate LC1 wide-band?

So thAn regardless of rpm it should be 11.6-11.8?
What about the opposite it shouldn't go below 11?

I guess it depends in what kind of weather you are tuning in. If it is really hot, say 85F+ I would want the AFR to be lower than 11.8, maybe in the 11-11.2 area. If you drive in colder weather the car will likely lean out.

From my understanding 10.5 is about as low as you would want to go, you are potentially losing power and if you run that rich or richer for extended periods of time you may have unburnt fuel getting past the rings and into your oil. Or at the very least, you will foul up O2 sensors and plugs a lot faster.

If I am incorrect, I'm sure someone will chime in and correct me.
