Lean burn happens when the engine switches to a leaner profile cam via VTEC, right? Does that mean that you could rig a light to illuminate when the car is running on the lean burn profile? I wonder if lean burn is vacuum-specific, i.e. a vacuum gauge could point out exactly what throttle position brings it in and out of lean burn.
