14.7 to 1 air fuel ratio is when all of the bad stuff is eliminated coming out of the tail pipes.
That is a EMISSIONS and F.E. Number. OEMS are required to run there because of emissions laws.

12.5 to 12.7 to 1 air fuel ratio is where a lot of engines make best power.
Since you are after best power, you have your information screwed up OR
whoever gave you that information was in wrong.

ASSUME got you chasing your tail in the WRONG direction.

KNOW or ASK is much better.
