Default ideal air fuel ratio at out of boost in WOT...

ive noticed alot of members dyno sheets on here with a/f have the ratio all the way across the board around 11.5ish at WOT, even when they arent in boost yet...

right now ive got my car tuned to around 13.5-14 out of boost at WOT, then curving around a bit under 12:1 at full boost. im debating on whether to retune it to around 11.5-12:1 all the way through WOT or just leave it..i was always told that running around 13.5-14 before full boost with aid the spoolup time...

14.0:1 at WOT even out of boost is a little lean, this isnt going to help aid spool time either.

Run the car at 14.7:1-15.3:1 in partial throttle crusing range. then taper down to 13.0:1 around 0psi, then gradually go down to 12:1 into boost by about 2-3 psi.

i'm probably completely wrong here but, if the car was tuned leaner before boost wouldnt it make a little more power lower in the rpm range before boost comes in? helping it get through that part of the powerband sooner, which would get you into boost sooner?

running leaner doesnt always mean the most power.

i understand that but normally a leaner condition would make more power than say the 11.5:1-12.1:1 mentioned in the original post. (before boost)
