Another 87 octane/aluminum heads question

IMO, for stock-ish motors the part throttle cruise can be really lean....... but I don’t care for getting them leaned out to the point where they’re kind of “surging”.
It may not be hurting anything, but I can’t tolerate that feeling.

From what I understand, the new GDI stuff is more like 50:1 at part throttle cruise.
Yes, 15-16 won't surge at least form my experience.

That 50:1 number is pretty wild! I have not kept up with that.
