Holy shizznit that is WAY lean.....you better find out how much timing is in that program or your gonna go KABOOM!!!!!!!

I would say between 12-14 degrees advance is OK for that A/F, but even then you are pushing the edge.

Sure hope you got good plugs in there too.

I run 10:1 at about 14 degree's timing on my street chip. You are way lean. Are you getting any pinging?

No pinging that I can hear. I thought the numbers were lean; I would like to see low to mid 11's at 5000.

This may be a stupid question, but if the numbers are lean, would'nt the computer throw a lean code--illuminating the check engine light?

That's pretty lean, unless you are running race fuel, and then it's still leaner than I'd do it.

It won't set a lean code. The PCM does not monitor the O2s at WOT. A lean code is set when the closed loop fuel trims have to add so much fuel that it hits it's maximum allowed limit, then it usually has to see that happen 3 times (not always though), then it will set a lean code.

Not only lean but don't you want to be richer on the bottom and lean it out as the rpm increase?

You will always be a little lean on tip in. Way too lean for me. What mods are you running? I would either pull the chip or if you are running extra boost drop it down until you can get a re-burn.
