Am I losing HP by running too rich? Or is it better to run lean?

Don't have a NA dyno A/F reading, but at WOT on a 180shot I am getting 10:1 A/F. Is this too rich or should i lean it out. How much HP gain would I see from putting smaller NXL fuel jets in?

You are way low on power. I gained nearly 100 rwhp running At 11:3, rising to 11:7 at 6600 RPMs versus being at less than 10:1 thru most of the run.
Big difference.

thanks for the reply. NA I dynoed 415rwhp, but on the 180 shot I only gained 80hp. NX said they sent me the wrong jets, and I just received the correct jets today. At 10:1 that is rich, but I do not want to go too lean and pop my motor. But they "think" this is where the 100rwhp went.
what do you think?
