Keep in mind that the wideband meter will point you in the right direction but it's not gospel. There are a number of factors that can affect the output of the meter, including: (1) sensor accuracy, (2) placement and variation from cylinder to cylinder and bank to bank, and (3) if the cam is big, readings at low RPM will be useless. Ask me how I know.

Long story short, I kept these factors in mind and used the meter as *one* tool, but relied more on the way the car felt and drove, and reading the plugs, to get the final tune right.
