Default Dyno results: huge lean spike at 3500 RPM with GIAC stage 3- chip

I had the car dynoed again today. This time boost and air-fuel ratio was measured.

First graph shows HP and torque, second graph shows boost and air-fuel ratio.

See that huge spike in the air-fuel ratio at 3500 RPM, around 18 parts air for 1 part fuel? That's a lot! On another run it spiked all the way up to 22. That's dangerously high, as far as I know...
What's up with that?

It's not a misfire, because there is no power dip in the first graph.

The ratio was measured at the exhaust pipe. I don't think there anything pumping oxygen into the exhaust when the car is fully warmed up, is there?

So I think the ECU programming is to blame.

Any experiences or comments? Suggestions? Thanks.

Reading your sig - no mention of injectors - I'd say that's the problem. Just a 5-bar won't cut it.

Default Somethings not right. My GIAC 3- had a max of 13.5 AFR, min 11.4 AFR on dyno. Are you sure you

have a true 5 bar FPR (not crushed 4 bar).?

According to GIAC, stage 3- chip is designed for stock injectors. Maybe they're just clogged?

If that's wheel horsepower, that's really optimistic

Why? 289 whp seems about right. It was optimistic at waterfest last year when it measured 325 whp.
