~15.5-16.0 is what the car shoots for cruising down the road
~14.7 is stoichiometric. This is the "ideal burn" and is tried to reach during idle
~12.0-13.5 is full throttle NA
I've seen dyno's that run rich at very wot down to 12:1 and that was considered "normal operation".

Checked my A/F ratio--running lean above 6500rpm--down to 12.1 @8500rpm. I have AEMV2 intake and Js racing header-exhaust--no cat. No other mods--Help!!!!
it scales like this.
Rich ideal Lean
10-----------14.7-----------17.0
i just picked numbers to simulate lean and rich i am not quite sure what the extremes in terms of #'s.
Boosted cars you don't want to be close to 13.2-13.4 any thing below that (richer) is safer. because if you do go up in the hills the barometric pressure will be off. And your going to run leaner than what it is set at. The ECU should calibrate slightly for it but it won't do it 100%.
In Audi's we tuned them to sit around 12.1-12.5 when boosting in higher RPM. down low it's set at roughly 13.8-14.0 you seriouly don't want to run 14.7 on any boosted car because the ECU can't compensate fast enough to prevent a ping or detonantion. Also at 14.7 you can't run an agressive timing curve to give you good response. it's basically just a rule come close to it for ideal a/f mix. you don't have to be right on it. but you should not stray 4-5 points away from it.
