What number are you thinking is "good" running down the road and at idle? An EPA tune in a newer vehicle is going to be no lower than 14.6 AFR at any time, but for a non-EPA tune running mid 14's at cruise, but down in the mid to low 13's any time you touch the throttle is going to give you a lot better transitions and snappier response. Trying to run 14.6 to 14.7 with a carb all the time is going to be tough, and skirting with running too lean and getting into trouble.
