Yes, during part-throttle cruising you may see AFR's as high as 16:1, but you are putting in less air and fuel - less heat.

I'm not disagreeing with you - But if it were my truck running 15:1, I'd be afraid to floor it up Wolf Creek in the middle of summer with my boat behind me. Personally I think 13-14:1 is the safest WOT AFR.

The thing is we don't know all of the conditions that happened which caused his dyno reading. Was he truly at WOT when he saw the 15:1? He already admitted that all of his lights started flashing while it was on the dyno. It had never done that prior to him putting it on the dyno I bet. Who knows what the engine was doing after that.
