Post AFR at WOT on the spray

I know this is a very broad question - and every tune is different depending on spark advance, temp, altitude etc etc.

BUT..... what AFR ratio do you tune for on the dyno ON the spray and OFF the spray?

Im thinking of tuning for 13.0:1 off the spray and 12:1 on the spray.

But I am mostly just curious about the on the spray AFR tune - where is the most power made safely?

Thanks for the answers

13:1 NA and 12:1 with N2O sounds pretty reasonable. You could go a little leaner (12.2-12.3 and 13.2-13.3) and gain a bit of hp at the expense of some security.

Why would you need any aditional security if it was tuned right?

Consider the variables like ambient temp and humidity, gas quality, load, etc. The amount of power loss from tuning a bit leaner than optimal is quite small. The cost ($$$$) of too lean is quite large.

BTW: my tune for blower only is 12.5:1, for blower+N2O it's 11.5:1. I am going to lean it out to 12:1 for blower+N2O but no more than that.
