Default Running Rich normal? or just me?

So this past friday, i had my innovate standalone wideband kit installed. I replaced the precat driver side o2 with the standalone and all is good. So I go out to do some street tuning on my safc2. I noticed that on most wot's i was dipping into the 9s so i started to lean it out. But what gets me is that i'm leaning out to like 30% to have the a/f ratio still around mid to high 12s. I've noticed that on other threads concerning this topic, the leaning out is only around the 10-15% range... think this is normal? or is it just my car?

for now i have my low throttle at 10% and my high is set at 50%.

info: 95 SC4, heatwrapped Injen SRI with airbox/air funnel from fog area, JIC catback exhaust.

others may be using diffefrent size injectors so your settings would be very different.

well the settings i'm seeing others use are based off a SC4 with similar mods of intake mod with catback or more exhaust. so i don't injectors are a factor.

They come very rich stock, that's why everyone gets such a boost from intakes and exhausts, to a point anyhow.

yea i know they come rich... but what concerns me is how i have to lean mines out moreso than others... i believe VsSC400, lexiss_sc400, lexusalex are within a 10-15% range of leaning... mines is double that... could it be the hi-lo throttle % (was reading that NA should have a 15-85 hi-lo %)
