Wide Open Throttle
#2
Oil Injection
every car is going to be a little bit differnt, but yes, at WOT (wide open throttle) the car is adding more fuel than it needs, causing the car to run rich, this unburnt fuel in the exhaust helps cool down the EGT (exhaust gas temp) and keep the catalytic converter in a proper temp range to give it a long life span.
Anything you can do to lean out the A/F (air/fuel ratio) will give more power at the cost of shorter life span for the emissions system (o2 and cat).

He was asking what happens, at high rpm the car runs rich.

12 is nice ive seen mine go into 11s but i havent checked since i went from original M to the new flash. i know there were changes between the 2.
what they are sayign about wot is that just because you floor the pedal doesnt meen the throttle body opens all the way. there is an optimum opening "curve" to keep max power while accelerating. the pcm never opens the throttle all the way in one shot it opens it just ahead of the air need.

What are you using to log this? Canscan CZ version? Please use lambda next time as I have found out that the CZ version calculates a dynamic formula down low that creates the 12.1 as the lowest AFR. I have compared the normal canscan and cz version and they both give out the same lambda values. Very consistent, but the CZ does AFR differently. It doesn't use the standard SAE formula. I don't trust it.
