At what point is "Lean", TOO LEAN? With meth. also.

I step on the gas with the methanol spraying, and I see 11.2-11.5 at WOT. is that too lean? cause for concern? And when do you cross the line between "a tad lean" to GOD YOU BETTER GET OUT OF THE THROTTLE?
Just thought I would ask without searching first.

I want to have fun in the car now, not replace stuff anymore!
Besides, I have to keep ahead of you BEFORE you go hog wild on your AMS 1,000 HP build!A little low, meaning OK? too rich?

a freind of mine bought the ams kit for water alchol injection it states in the tuning tips that one can have afrs between 11.0-11.4 and run 3-6psi more of boost! but before doing anything else my friend just use something to log timing i use pocketlogger!
good luck my friend!
good luck my friend!

11.2-11.5 is on the richer side.
My air/fuels are 12-12.2's. Remember, the meths tricks the wideband. So 12.0-12.2 are actually more like 11.2-11.7's.
Methonal suppresses knock! I use 50/50 for maximum protection from det. and knock. If
you read and do some homework....the h2o is just as important as the meth. Also less chance of washing the cylinders down, which decreases the lubrication properties of the oil.
The pro cars running meth, like the AEM car, and the Turbonetics solora that runs 7's.... all use 75% meth, 25% h2o.
