Default how lean

Well I did some logging today and saw a commanded afr of 16:1 and well my WB said that it was right around there, so how lean will it start hurting it? This was at cruising speed and I just put on LT headers not sure what they will do to a tune but will they do this?

At cruise, it's not a problem. You'll start to notice the power drop off above 16.5-17:1, but as long as the load is light, you're not going to do any damage.

I guess better fuel mileage as well right? Also how close will the actual AFR follow the commanded?

If it's tuned properly then the actual should be very close to the commanded. I have HPT so I can't look at the log. I had mine setup to run about 16:1 for a while with no problems. I'm running in now at around 15.5 at light throttle/cruise speeds.
