S/C owners: collecting information

When I am at a stoplight and floor it, it takes approximately 2 seconds for the police pursuit car to fly out from his place of concealment in the bushes! He appears immediately in my rearview mirror, and only takes a few minutes to nail me for a $280 ticket

JUST KIDDING here's how it really goes:

If I go from standstill to wot, I am seeing 11s-12s AFR as soon as I hit 6-7-8 psi (my max). Typically this involves throttle position of 50 or higher, what I think of as "wot." However, this also happens if I reach those psi's at slightly lower throttle position, under heavy acceleration (merging into faster traffic while going up a hill, lets say).

Just a related note, not the wot situation: If I do not exceed 3-4 psi, my AFR may remain at 13-14-15 indefinitely, EXCEPT in "highway" mode as mentioned before.

This is based on so few tests though, I've only had those gauges in for a week, so I'll keep watching as closely as I can while avoiding getting arrested

You are seeing those AFR numbers sooner than camell and I. It isn't until we hit open loop till we see the 11-12. When you hit your 6-7-8 psi, is that when it is open loop? Did you check that

After watching for a week now it looks like the 11s-12s always go hand in hand with open loop on my car.

It does take a couple seconds or longer for the scangauge to show that, but it takes that long for it to show any change!... Garm was saying it's display is slow compared to our a/f and other gauges.
