I am not trying to come off like a know-it-all, but these little A/F meters that use the factory O2 sensors for their pickup will not help you tune the motor.
Trust me, a factory O2 sensor is designed to be accurate ~14.7:1. Once you get much above or below that, they are useless. Whether it reads .78v or .90v makes no difference b/c each O2 sensor will be different.
They look cool, and can verify two things: 1) proper O2 function (they should switch from rich to lean ... above and below .50v... under cruise conditions) and 2) that you are indeed below 14.7:1 at full throttle. It should _always_ go above .50v at full throttle. However, whether its 13:1 or 10:1 you cannot tell.
Not trying to rain on a parade here, but I am trying to give informative data. I've been working with this stuff in hi-po late model Fords for almost a decade.
The only A/F gauge/meter that works is one that utilizes a wide-band O2 sensor.
