Default AFR equal what VE value

I have power vision on a 2005 flhtci no autotune. I'm just trying to understand. reducing fuel through quick tune afr no problem understood. If increasing VE also adds fuel because now the computer thinks its drawing in more air volume, can you please explain the difference and what percentage of VE value would mimic a 1% afr drop. I have a fuel moto map with med cruise at 14.5 and a dynojet stock improved with 14.2 just trying to be well balanced.

Thank You

Moving the VE 10 (example from 80 to 90) would richen it up approximately 1 full fuel point and vice versa. If you can't sample the afr, I would recommend you do not play with the VE values.

You'd probably be better off to change the target AFR in a given cell. For instance, I wanted a slightly richer idle to keep it cooler sitting at a light or in traffic on a 95° day and changed my target AFR to 13.8 instead of the 14.2 or 14.4 whatever it was.
