air fuel ???

So I recently put a wide band gauge on the car and punched out my cats when I had the car dynoed about a month ago my air fuel was 11.8 pretty much accross the board however since punching out my high flow cats and installing my gauge the gauge reads 10.8 its a prosport gauge any ideas? did the cats change this or is there something I need to know about these gauges car seems to run pretty much the same as before

Pull the O2 sensor and hang it so it is in clean air. Then push and hold the little button on the side of the controller box for 3 seconds until the gauge reads "2", this will indicate that it is calibrating. When complete, replace the sensor in the exhaust stream.

If that doesn't work order a new sensor from Prosport. Part number is 17025.

If you had the WB post cat it'll read a few % lean compared to what it measures pre cat. The cats were working. Since you punched them WYSIWYG.

What I had for readings before was from a sniffer at the end of my exhaust at the dyno it read 11.8 pretty constant during dyno and made good hp since then I punched out the cats and installed a wide band just where one of the 02 sensors plugged into the cat which is now hollow am getting 10.8 at wot reading consistent I did recal in open air but same results so I don't know wat to think

Sniffers usually ready 1/2 point leaner than up by the header.

But i would think if I was a whole point off I would not have made the 540 rwhp I did with the Maggie 3.8 pulley and bolts on I have but I don't know how much a point rich would affect my hp numbers
