Default Running Lean on WOT, PLEASE READ ! ! ! !

Okay, don't know if best location for this thread, but i want some feedback, and i know someone can help.

Car has been running terrible, way too lean, won't run at all when cold, adn just all kinds of problems. Replaced Coolant Temp Sensor, and MAF and TADA
Feel like i'm driving a new motor. She's beautiful again. Only problem is on WOT i always ran real rich, especially when car warmed up, and would idle perfect. Right now, she's idling rich and WOT real lean. Granted i'm running stock O2's and a Air/Fuel guage wired in, adn it's no Wideband, but i know what i should be showing. Any ideas? Still runs strong like it's good, but i'm a little concerned. I have a tear-down planned for tomorrow to install Torquer 2 CAM, LS6 Ported Oil Pump, LS2 Timing Chain, 918's, etc... Just wanna make sure before i start that the car is runnign up to par? Any Suggestions, or am i being paranoid?

don't rely on your A/F guage, even if it "used" to register at a certain display, and is different now. Why don't you do your install, and go ahead and get some tuning done, you will need it regardless of what your car is running like right now.
