couldn't hurt to run 15w50 instead of 10w30...

ok, considering that the WOT switch tells the ECU to run open loop and
richer... what do you think the chances are that you are reading the
gauge backwards somehow?  Why not chuck a voltmeter on the OXS output as
well to confirm?  WOT should produce a rich mixture, not a lean one -
unless you are using that extra fuel instantly I guess.  You could also
try playing with setting your static mixture a bit richer, right?  does
your engine management system allow "tampering" there?  Then the WOT
enrichment will be that much richer.

I am psyched to check out your car at MTW, by the way!
