Hey Matt ... just thought I would share something I'm going through with my tuning.
The last couple of logging sessions I did with Randy - before he crapped out on us - he was a bit confused about the readings we were getting - specifically the A/F coming from the wideband.
We never did finish the tune, but in the meantime my A/F readings on the gauge were getting stranger and stranger and finally really weird. I won't bore you with the story but I have now found out that the AEM O2 sensor has taken a dump and the readings are worthless - and it was a progressive failure as opposed to a sudden one.
It's not cheap, but if you have any significant mileage on your AEM O2 sensor you might think about replacing it with a new one for tuning purposes. You might also consider replacing the stock O2's as well.
Think about it - your tune is only going to be as accurate as the sensor input - especially the wideband A/F.
I found a source that's much less expensive than AEM if you need that info.
