Subject:Re: O2 sensors effect on power

What I meant (and obviously said badly) is that if you want max power the
lambda sensor will defeat you by running too lean; and if you want max
economy it will defeat you by running too rich.  At no time will the FI
running in closed-loop mode make the mixture far enough from stoichiometric
to satisfy either set of parties -- but it is pretty close for both, and it
makes the cat run correctly...
