What gauge are you using? If it isn't a wideband, it is worthless in telling you anything useful.

PLX, Zeitronix, AEM, etc...they are all decent. I have a Zeitronix, but it uses a weird lambda scale that most engine management programs throw a fit with. It does come with a great datalogging program and is relatively cheap, though.

What does lean look like?

You mentioned it is running fine. If it is running fine and supposedly lean, it must be fine. If you richen it up, your gas mileage will drop.
