Thumbs down Idling A/F Ratio High

Hey guys I recently installed an inline pro turbo kit with aem ems. I got it tuned a few days ago and starting today my a/f readings started to jump from 15 to 16. I'm worried that my car is idling really high. I guess my question is that what could be the issue?

Thanks

when I had my Vortech, my AEM wideband would jump all over the place at idle, but tried to stay around 15 or so.

Oh I see, I was just getting a little worried, because before I noticed that I was idling around 12 - 14.9. It just started getting higher and higher. What does WOT mean?

Wide Open Throttle. You should be hitting 11, when stomping on the pedal. If you're at 12 at idle, then that would be a problem. It'll mean that you're running way too rich and you'd be getting like 5mpg
