Thank you guys for input! I did a little thinking and some more research, found out what wire (PIN D-8, LAF Sensor VS+) on the ECU was the lean burn turn on switch ( I guess you could call it that. lol ) and I just cut it, extended the wire to a switch on the dash, and ran a wire back to the ECU.

I won't be running it out of lean burn all the time, and if someone plans on doing this, you should change the spark plugs to a plug that runs cooler.

If someone ever does this mod, it takes 4 seconds to change over to a stoich mixture, and if you turn lean burn back on, you have to shut the vehicle off and turn it back on. This resets the ECU and enables lean burn again. Maybe I can make a DIY guide and post it!

Thanks again for everyones comments. It was nice to look at it from different angles!
