You should feel a slight loss of power when getting on it at high RPM's. Mine was running really lean at one point because of my tune..from what I have been told, it's not good to take your car up to high RPM's if it's running lean. I would be careful.

Take what that gage is telling you with a grain of salt. It is really just a light show, and will tell you if there is a bad O2 sensor. If you want to know how lean or rich you are, use a wideband.
