I havent had my A/F gauge for that long and to tell you the truth, my auto skills are having a hard time reading it. What essentialy should it be doing?

When i'm in idle, she's at the last lean (red) bar....when i cruise, she's bouncing back and forth ( which i know is normal, and also very fun to watch ) and at WOT, she hits the last rich (green) bar quickly, and then back to bouncing...

thanks

well these guages aren't very acurate at all....at idle 14.5:1 is lean and good dont need much to keep her runing, at WOT throttle 12.5:1-12:1 is good for boost if you can hanndle it with out pining and 13:1 NA.

any richer then 12:1 then your tuner is useing the fuel to cool the boost BAD IDEA

A/F gauges attached to the stock narrow band O2 sensors are for only good for the light show. If you want to have any real clue about your A/F ratio you need a wideband.
