14 is actually pretty lean. You could probably richen it up and give it some more timing. Add a cutout on the Y pipe and you would probably be where you want.

You are WAY lean you have 10RWHP in tuning easily probably more depending on what your timing is looking like and what knock you are seeing.

Dont beat on it on the street with that lean AF.

Add a cutout before your muffler in the I pipe along with an LS1 Edit tune and you'll see an easy 15rwhp. I agree with Chris about that AF ratio and WOT street runs.
