I moved my AEM wideband O2 over into the suburban.
From my initial setting the idle was a tad too lean, needed about 1/8 of a turn rich to make it idle between the 16 to 18 range.

Gentile acceleration is lean, between 15 and 16 to one. That could burn a valve.
Moderate acceleration is around 15.
Flooring it meters fuel in at fuel at a rate of between 13 and 14 to one.
Cruise is around 16:1. I am pretty sure that is in the valve burn range.

I think I will start off by seeing what the next size smaller metering rod will do (will let in slightly more fuel during acceleration).

Edit: when I took the motor apart I pulled the exhaust valves and they showed no signs of burning.
