no wideband, but it seems that alot leaner than normally reccomended works great for me.  Others have said so too.

My low and mid trims are around 140%, maybe a bit lower sometimes, but throttle response dies off if I go much below 135%

Go as lean as you can until you get knock (or melt a piston).

That way you get better gas mileage and more power.

I figured a good target was around 16:1 for 20-30% throttle and below while something more like 14:1 would be good for 50-60% throttle.  Just want to confirm this.
