Fueling question

[ShannonSRT]

I found it weird coming off a Hellcat this doesn't show boost or AFR so I bought a P3 that reads it. WHY does a turbo'd motor not enter WOT till after 3500rpm and then only goto 12.3? That's literally a safe number I put on 392's NEVER a boosted car! I ran my Hellcat @ 11.6 WOT until I went to E and the it went to 7.8 on WOT.
Im wondering if I need to take it in?

if you're having a heart attack at 12.3 afr don't look at JB4 logs running 14.5-14.9 AFR...

12.3 isn’t automatically “safe” just because that’s what you ran on a 392. A boosted motor is a different animal. You’ve got boost timing, IATs, fuel type, and the tune all playing into what AFR it should be at.

And the fact that it doesn’t go full WOT enrichment until around 3500 could be completely normal depending on the factory calibration and when the turbos actually start making real boost. But if you’re seeing 12.3 under actual boost, I’d verify it with a real wideband before assuming the car is happy.

Also, don’t compare the raw AFR numbers between pump gas and E85. 7.8 on E85 doesn’t mean it’s insanely rich compared to 11.6 on gasoline. Lambda is the number you want to compare

don’t judge a boosted setup by the AFR number you were comfortable with on a 392
