AFR Question
I am currently tuning my car and noticed something that I would like an opinion on. I did a second and third gear pull and noticed that at the same RPM in each gear the AFR is about .1-.2 richer in third gear.

Re: AFR Question
Thanks for the reply, I figured it was normal but not sure I 100% understand. I understand that the load would be greater, but from the ecm perspective, it appears to be the same as the 2nd gear pull.
That would be interesting if there was a table/constant that would compensate for this. Which gear should I target my AFR at for best power? 2nd gear and have 3rd a bit rich or 3 and have 2nd a bit lean?

Re: AFR Question
At the moment it appears that my motor likes about 12.5-12.6 for best power. The issue is that once it hits third it creeps to about 12.3-12.4 and I know I am giving up power. Probably not enough to worry about, but if I can correct this I would like too.
What I might do is tune 3rd gear for 12.5 so that second will still be under 12.8
