Default Would this setup run lean?

Looks like I'll be going to the track towards the end of Feb. and I wanted to have a couple things installed by then. I already have K&N FIPK (installed), I also have the o/r prochamber (not installed yet) and I was debating ordering the LMII catback. Now according to the link below, the K&N with pretty much any catback will run somewhat lean, but I will also have the prochamber to add to that and this might cause a leaner condition. Can anyone, that has dynoed their car, confirm that the intake/midpipe/catback combo will run too lean for comfort? Would running higher octane (100LL) prevent detonation? The reason I ask is because even when stock, I had the car dynoed to get a baseline, on the third run it was pulling timing at high RPMs.

^ thanks rebel, according to the link, it runs between 14.0-16.0 below 3k and goes down to about 13.0 from 3k-redline.

sounds good, just to be careful I'll dyno the car when I get these parts installed that way I can see how lean it is before taking it to the track.

BTW, what did you put down with those mods? If you don't mind me asking.

nice, I don't think I'll make that, I might make ~285/305, because I put down 268/291 stock.

Don't trust a dyno man. track times rule the streets.
