What AFR in PE mode should I have?
I am using the ARAP bin on a Superram L98. The AFR in PE mode uses two tables for fueling (coolant and RPR). It looks like this:
Why are those AFR transitions there? Should I try to have 12.5 across all RPM's or some type of transition from low to high RPM's? I will be getting a wideband soon.

AFR is whatever makes the engine happy.
It's also somewhat touchy, rich being better then lean in case of an error.
Starting at 12.5 is GENERALLY a safe AFR. But you have to sneek up on things carefully. Read the plugs.
Do a commanded 12.5 and make sure with all things being correct or close to that you have a reasonable DC. Since if your going to rely at all on the ecm for generating a AFR, you want it to be able to. ie if you set the AFR to 12.5 and run a 100% DC your too far out to even get things back in without some mechanical work.
On my car I started at 11.5 and have been taking it lean from there. But, I also had run it at 11.8 and knew that was a happy zone for my combo.

Grumpy,
The graph is based on a formula I found here:
PE AFR = 14.7/ (1+(%added Coolant table/100) + (% added RPM table/100))
I'm using the value of 22.66 from the Coolant table because this is the temperature I operate at.
If this formula is wrong, please correct me.
Thanks.
