That alone leads me to believe you're right about a wideband needing a calibration change as well.
Well, I read that too (the 14.3:1) but I'm not at all certain that is correct...is my point.

As far as lamda tables go, that refers to injector dwell and consequently affecting the actual AF ratio according to alcohol %.

Let me rephase the question:

What would the wideband rig indicate for AF if the actuual fuel were alcohol with the INTAKE MIXTUR set at 9.1:1, keeping in mind the wideband jig being a constant??
