14.7 is ideal while cruising with no load, the computer will be aiming for this depending on lots of variables.

WOT with an n/a car 12 - 12.5:1 is ideal, with a boosted car 11 - 12:1 is ideal.

First, where is your wide-band sensor?
You want it as close to the headers as possible for the most accurate readings.

I'd shoot for 12.8 - 13.0 for an NA car at WOT
