"Isn't that Air Fuel Ratio kind of lean?"

Nothing was hooked up to measure A/F so I don't even look at those numbers.. I may gander at BSFC but the dyno operator is used to those numbers not being as "clean" as some of the Holley style carbs they use, but those "ugly" Q-jets still make as much as and often more power on back to back pulls.......FWIW.......
