My gauge reads about 12.5 at WOT. Does that sound about right?
Air/fuel gauge readings at WOT?

If you took the blower off sure. Way too lean tho for a supercharged car. should see a max of 11.8, preferably closer to 11.5. Is the sensor newish or does it have some miles on it? Ideally it may be a bad wideband but could be a tune. What's done to the car?
The gauge may be right, but that's not the target a/f you want. You're more looking for 11.5. Get the car retuned and stay out of WOT operation until you do.
Stay out of WOT until you can have your tune checked and verify what's off, the tune or your a/f gauge.
I've always went by 12.0. Anything higher needs a retune. My car sees 11.9 at WOT
I haven't had my car tuned yet. I don't have any good tuners where I live so I'm going to tune the car myself. I just installed the innovate lc-2 wide band with the speed hut guage seems to work fine. I don't hear any pinging that's why I thought it was ok.
I'm also having trouble with data logging still trying to figure it out

Mail order tuning. What's your set up? I use Rick at Amazon Tuning
Steigy stage 3 ported blower, sct 2600 maf, 2.95 pulley, bbk long tubes, o/r H, magna flow cat back, Ngk tr6 plugs.
do you have upgraded injectors and pumps or a bap? If not that could very well be a cause, or if you're on a stock tune for all that then also a huge red flag. These cars are hard to hear any pinging on usually due to being loud, unless you make some sort of knockaphone with copper tubing and a solo cup.
I'm gonna guess you either need to take a look at your fuel system, or the maf scaling isn't correct with that maf.
11.8 on mine. What's your timing at? It could be low seeing your not hearing any detonation.

agree with this 100%
A lot of the popular tuners offer remote tuning. Meaning you take your car to a dyno and log your pulls with the parameters they give you. You email tunes back and forth until its dialed in. I dont think you mentioned what injectors you are running?
If you insist on tuning yourself, figure out the data logging before you do any more pulls. Only takes one pull to destroy your engine if something is off.

You don't have to have your car on a dyno to datalog. Just datalog a few pulls on the highway
Mine is right at 11.5-11.6 on E85. As others said, 12.5 is definitely too high for a boosted car. I would install a boost a pump to be safe.
when the computer is connected to the wideband and I start up the program it says no device detected. also I don't have a handheld

It says you live in San Diego, is that accurate?
Take your car up to Downey near Los Angeles. You have Racers Edge Tuning up there. I would recommend giving them a look.
that's a 3 hour drive and I don't have a truck to tow it
