How lean is too lean?
How lean is too lean? My car was recently dyno tuned and is running at about 13.8 AFR. Is this a safe AFR for my car? I read some threads about this a few weeks ago, but can't get search to work right now.

Yeah, you will actually lose power running too lean. Depending on the car, most make peak power anywhere from 12.2 to 13.2, with a majority in the 12.5 to 12.8 range mentioned above.
