mount pearl,
with a wide ban and lb injectors what should the wide ban read if running properly . is it the higher the number the richer or is it the lower the richer . my wide ban reads 14.28 at idle then shoots to 16 at boost (11 psi) . on another note the big black box on the lower part of the back of the intake what is its purpose ?
 
To ensure that your wideband is functioning correctly you must have no exhaust leaks before the sensor.

Higher is leaner, lower is richer. It is a Air:Fuel ratio. A reading of 14 would be 14 parts air to 1 part fuel.

At idle you would ideally want your wideband to read stoichiometric levels, about 14.7.

At boost on pump gas most people shoot for around ~11. 16 is way too lean.
 
so what woudl the safest rainge to fhoot for . right now i have the larger of the three disks in the sfmu .
 
at 16 to 1 a/f you ar getting to a piston melting point you want really close to 11:1 to 11.5:1 with no knock just to be safe you are gonna need a biit more fuel before you do anything else
 
OP has no MAF/MAS.

SFMU is a regulator with an adjustable base pressure and rate of gain.

on another note the big black box on the lower part of the back of the intake what is its purpose ?

On the bottom side of the intake manifold? A vacuum reservoir for the cruise control.
