Can a few of you veterans out there please offer feedback regarding this dynograph?
This is new to me, but I am skeptical here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks! Mike in Munich Attached thumbnail(s) |

There is no "optimum" AFR. The 14.7:1 is best for complete burn while keeping catalytic converters happy, but it is not the single and only best ratio.
Our engines seem to like to be a bit richer, especially while accelerating. On the order of 12-13:1. Cruise can be 13-14.7 or so, and idle can be whatever it needs to be to get the 3% CO reading and an idle that doesn't hunt. Different octane numbers don't really change the preferred mixture for any given set of circumstances. I agree with the above comments about finding a different tuner. Someone doesn't appear to know WTF they're doing... Your power levels appear to be at least in a reasonable ballpark over all, if a touch low for a 2056 with a stock cam and such. Though the power dropping off so quickly does not seem quite right. That said, you can drive around at or under 4500 RPM all day. Most of us don't get over 5K on a daily basis, I don't think. --DD |
