I like your work.
You may want to stay away from 16:1 unless you have inconell or better exhaust valves.
I think unless you have problems with it not running smooth try to run leaner.
You are doing what I plan on doing with an LSx at some point. I want to lean burn one, with inconell exhaust valves (not to mention a ton more mods) and stay leaner than about 17:1 for eco cruise.
