I personally wouldn't lean it out more than 13:1, but the 11:1 is a tad rich. I'd target around 12.5:1 to 13:1

Thanks for the suggestion. It normally runs around between 14 and 15.5 before vtec without correction. Anymore suggestions would be appretiated.

You should post this in the Engine Management and Tuning forum.

an engine typically will make its best power at a ratio of around 13:1. Aim for that ratio across the board and know that you will get to a point (even before reaching peak rpm) to where the fuel graph will flatten out and you will actually have to take away fuel in order to maintain a 13:1 AFR.
