What A/F is good at part throttle?
your car should have a built in standard of 14.7 or 15 something maybe higher :1 standard. you are fine...check for metal parts in your oil next oil change and check your spark plugs. my WOT is running at 13.5:1 down to 12.4:1 which i want to get it all around about 13.5:1 down to 13.0

Mine actually drops to 12.7 then goes to 13 at WOT. My part throttle is actually 14.5-16, I thought that might be a little lean though. I planning on spraying my 100 shot here shortly and I want it at about 12 at WOT.
Part throttle cruising should be handled by your O2s and the fuel trims should range from -4 to +4. 14.7 is the "ideal" mixture for emissions and economy part throttle driving.

I have mine set to be lean right now about 14-16 and at WOT 12.8-13. Is my part throttle A/F to lean?
Question, if an A/F log of part-throttle closed loop driving looks like a sin wave (ranging from 14.5:1 to about 15.2:1) is a sensor going bad?

I have noticed that when I fatten it up at part throttle I can run more timing and have more power but mpg is go down of course.

Just incase I didn't mention this, I have a O2 wide band. Thats how I know what my A/F was. My car at part throttle is running about 15.2-15.5 A/F but I did see a 16 A/F a few times.
