Idle isn't nearly as important as WOT. But you should see anywhere from mid 14's to 17 at idle.
WOT is critical, as if you get too lean on an FI car, you are really going to have catastrophic failure. Personally, I believe 11.5 is ideal at WOT. Some go a tad fatter at 11.0, others I have heard of going leaner at 12.0. I personally think 12.0 is getting a little dangerous, but it depends on how conservative your tuner is, and where you want it to end up.
Mine is at 11.5, but when my meth injection kicks in it fattens up, then leans back out to 11.5 ish higher in the RPM band.
I know this thread is a few weeks old so you probably have all this figured out by now anyways.

Ok, at idle I am seeing exactly what you are saying, between 14ish and 17.....
I have yet to go WOT, but the slight rolling into it I have done, saw mid to high 11s with SOME boost. Again, it was no where near WOT.......
Kinda have it parked right now till I get the oil leak to stop.....

Partial throttle, is not WOT, so whatever it is reading at partial throttle is not really realavent. You need to give it full WOT, and keep a close look at it. If it goes north of the 12.0 mark, you need to get out of it.
Are you done tinkering under the hood yet? (its been a while since I have kept tabs on your progress since I know you won't be a contender at the shootout). If you are done with things, you really just need to get it dyno tuned by someone who knows what they are doing. They will take care of getting you right where you need to be on the A/F stuff. If you are not done tinkering under the hood yet, then I wouldn't even be worried about A/F or even really driving it, other than just startng it for checking for leaks, and running temps ect.1995 Z28 - disfunctional now, perhaps insane after its "treatment"
