define "all over the place"

mine cycles anywhere from 14.4 to 15.2 during cruise. the ecu is trying to target stoich (14.7) during cycle, but it will never stay at 14.7

your range may vary due to that being a gasoline calibrated wideband on a car using e85, but the range should be similar...

Would that be injectors or Walbro not keeping up?

thats absolutely normal, running in closed loop with large injectors causes more variance due to the small adjustments required to achieve 14.7, and the ecu usually overcorrecting. I like to run most motors at 15.0-15.3 during cruise on 91oct. e85 can go as lean as 16 without issue during cruise. Makes for good response and slightly better gas mileage

This is exactly what mine is running at on 91oct with no issues while monitoring.

Thanks for the reassurance. Seeing high numbers always freak me out (unless we're talking TQ/HP )
