What should the A/F measure for a completely butt stock ca18det at idle? WOT under boost?

my ran pretty lean at idle , almost 15.0 and less than rich under boost low 13s. I set it from there to 14.5-14.7 at idle and just into the 11s under full throttle. That`s just what I shoot for and the engine ran like a top, I ain`t a pro though get a lot of opinions.

spot on mad scientist for idle ratios. dont be to scared about pushing the load (WOT) ratios into the low to mid 12's to 1. you just have to be sensible on a hotter than usual day when see at that.
