True that stock calibrations run a rather rich mixture. They do that so that your cat converter doesn't turn into a molten ball of fire . In a sence they're "putting out" your cat, if you don't do this your cat will live a rather short life. Newer cars do it differently but up until 99 that's how GM was doing there calibrations .
If you don't have a cat, lean it out a bit but ALWAYS have a way of measuring improvements. Don't go by the butt dyno, those are rarely accurate.
