I thought I read that the VX will go to 20:1-25:1 AFR. This is a lot more than the 15:1 you were talking about.
Please reread my post. What I wrote was "Running an engine at peak egt (A/F ratio about 15:1...plus or minus)..." That is nothing like the leanest an engine can go. And then I wrote, "I don't know how lean they can go (anybody know?), but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's well over 16:1.". I didn't know it could go as lean as 25:1. That's very impressive.
