+1 Fuel is added by throttle position, RPM, and load. (otherwise you wouldn't need a MAF/MAP, just a TPS) WOT=Max volumetric efficiency.
You want low load, low RPM, as much throttle as possible.
We've had this discussion on MM before, I think. The consensus, IIRC, was RPM's as low as possible, as light a load as possible, with the throttle as wide as possible, without lugging the engine.
