Hi guys,
Just wondering, what are good AFR's for a fully tuned, cammed and headwork AU6? And should the AFR's vary much or should it be straight line? Thanks josh

anywhere between 12.5 to 13.5 on an NA engine is fine, u will find it will start around the 13.x mark and slowly drop to the 12.x mark. on cruise u will see it being leaned out as far as 15:1

12.5:1 to 13:1 on WOT.
Should be a straight line, but a few wriggles here and there is normal. Less than 12:1 and you're losing power, and more than 13.5:1 and you're in the danger zone. Cruise can actually be as high as 17:1.

So 12.3 to 12.8 is good for power?
Or would a straight line (obviously not dead straight, lol) at say 13.1 would be better?

all engines are slightly different and make power with slightly different afr's, but around 12.8 is pretty good for most, also wot makes max power on yours at 2000rpm can be be slightly different to wot does at 5000.
I've found with mine it makes more power a little richer 12.6 at 2500rpm, and up to 13.0 after 4000rpm.
