A/F ratio on the dyno vs. A/F ratio on the streets
I think I read your A/F ratio will increase by like 0.5 when you take it off the dyno because of the increased airflow... ? Is this true?
i.e. You have your car tuned to 12.5:1 on the dyno, but when running on the streets, it will run a 13:1 A/F ratio

Re: A/F ratio on the dyno vs. A/F ratio on the streets (xThexHeadx)
i don't know about increased airflow, but its safe to say that a dynojet dyno cannot take in account of aerodynamic load which does have effect on the motor. more specifically, that means in real operating conditions the motor can reach cells on the map which aren't tuned.

Also, tuning by say a 3rd gear pull on the dyno will give you leaner values for 4th and 5th gear. If you do dyno pulls in 4th gear, or run lower air/fuel values in 3rd (say 11:1, if you are shooting for 12:1 in upper gears) than you are guranteed to cover yourself for good air/fuel in the upper gears. This is the reason that everyone says no 5th gear boosting, your air/fuel values get to low. This is due to the load that 5th gear places on an engine, commanding the most amount of fuel.

Re: A/F ratio on the dyno vs. A/F ratio on the streets (boosted hybrid)
ive always heard your a/f will be .5 leaner on the streets then on the dyno. 5th gear boosting is the leanest of all gears like boosted hybrid said, if u choose to boost in 5th I just hope u have an EGT guage so u can tell when the temp changes and u need to let off. ony my FMU set up the car would read 750degrees in 3rd/4th then by the top of 5th it would read 780.

Re: A/F ratio on the dyno vs. A/F ratio on the streets (gsx4R1)
I wonder how "off" the wideband is at the dyno, it being in your tailpipe and all.... I have my own wideband now in right before the cat and wondered if anyone did a tailpipe wideband -> before cat wideband comparison...
I had originally tuned at 12.1-12.5 A/F at the dyno it wasn't HOT out but a little warm, my guess is 70F in the dyno.... when I went to the track and race the A/F ratio was 11.1 at the highest during boost even in 3rd gear (what I tuned at)... then again it was about 35F out :D
