Am I correct in thinking that with a Tweecer and WB O2 sensor, you're able
to measure the A/F ratio continuously, rather than having to be on a dyno
with WB O2 sensor up the tailpipe?

As for the WOT fuel tables, how much fuel can you pull out without risking
being too lean? And why does doing so require higher octane gas?

This is all of considerable interest to me as I have a high compression
SHOSHop engine that is limited to 91 octane premium (now at ~$2.80/gallon
btw).
