An A/F of 14.7:1 is optimal for Catalytic Converters - nothing else. 12.7:1 will give you max power.

Just making sure I have this right... optimal A/F is 14.7:1, and Max Power is @ .86 multiplier? about 12.7:1 or so?

Thanks,

Boris

Got another question, while at it.... if 14.7 is optimal, then why is running a bit more rich (and ONLY with the .86 multiplier be the max power output?) Any engineers out there?

Thanks.
