Depends on the weather condition and loading.

It should not go higher than 12.3 or below 11.

Default Dyno Sheet

If someone would post a dyno sheet with an optimal A/F ratio, that would be the best thing to do. This way Hot-J could see graphically what he should be shooting for. Anyone? Bueller, Bueller...

To be 100% exact there are few factors involved (turbo efficiency, boost level, spoolup characteristics, fuel octane, outside temps, ..)
In general, the 951 likes to be in the 11.8:1AFR (under load). A bit richer at times (11.5:1).
Under load anything leaner than 12.5:1 is risky (again, under load).

You will notice that AFR fluctuates a bit, as long as it is in a acceptable range.
