Update:

Well the car has been doing great with a new personal best of 74mpg.

But I have found that I can't get anymore out of it from leaning the engine down. Anything leaner then 25:1 there are no gains with this setup.
In-fact it loses its efficiency.

Another thing I need to figure out is why it lean surges at anything below
45*F ambient outside temperature. So I have to drop back down to a A/F ratio of 18:1. Its still on summer fuel so I'm hoping it has something to do with the fuels Reid Vapor Pressure and that it will be better when I switch to winter grade fuel?
naturalextraction do you have any ideas on this? You have been most helpful!!!
