at cruzing speeds it reads 14.7 but soon as you go wot it drops to 13.5@4k then 12.6 5k and 11.4 to 11.0 at 6k to 6400

Thats a good question Ive been wondering the same thing and talking with people about that same thing. up high I think these engines like lots of timing and fuel thats something Ive noticed with tunes like nelsons and they perform well. My local tuner doest neccesarily agree and though I gained 10 hp from his tune it doesnt perform time wise as well as nelsons did. And in the end its about going fast not racing on the dyno. If Im wrong im shore someone will correct me and hopefully farmtruck will jump in.
Im starting to get into this tuning thing and its a pain. I miss turning distributors and messing with screws on the side of a carberator my simple monkey brain could absorb that alot easier.
But from what Ive gathered that seems about right I would try and lean it a little at wot and see what happens.

If your truck is naturally aspirated approx. 12.5-12.8:1 should give you best power at wot..
Approx .85 - .87 If you are using Lambda
If you are looking for a lean cruise "Best Fuel Mileage" 16.5:1 is a good start..
Approx 1.12 Lambda
