This may be too easy of an answer but my first dyno, also was quite lean. I disconnected the battery overnight and the next dyno pull (2 weeks later) was much better.

If it was 14.8 at partial no probelm, but 14.8 @WOT and you need a good scan to figure it out. A battery reset will reset fuel trims but not likely change WOT AFR.

If you have HPTuner and access to a dyno with a wide band then do some tuning, this condition is corrected under the "fuel control" tab and then click on the "power enrich" tab to change the PE table.

Naturalgas, I'd like to help you in the future, but I can barely comprehend your grammer. I'm sure I'm not the only one here that can't read your post. If you'd like our help, help us by taking the time to make a comprehensible post. The use of white space, punctuation and case goes a long way to making a post readable. If you can spell correctly, that's cool, but it's not a biggie. Try to avoid short cuts too. Using o1 and o2 in the same post is confusing, especially where they meant different things....like you meant o1=2001 and o2=oxygen^2.
