are u sure its lean ? do you have a wideband hooked up so you know exactly what you a/f ratio is? what injectors are you running and what do you have your safc set to for your lo throttle at 1000rpms? answer those questions and im sure i can help ya out.

we are using a wideband to tell us whats going on she gets as high as 19-20 on the wideband then she stalls out . i have 35lb ford brown top injectors and we have tried to increase fuel at low throttle at idle to get her more ritch but she wont change . could it be a wiring problem with the safc 2 please help me out on this one.

How lean are you talking, if its around 15 then you are good cause you aren't under boost when you are idleing, I think a stock engine's mixture is about 14.5
