Take a look at your spark plugs immediately after a full throttle run.
If the plugs are white and have aluminum specs on them it is lean.
If the plugs are black with soot, too rich.

Both of the above are good suggestions.
Generally you'd feel a lean engine under cruise, slight hesitation/misfire.
Rich you'd see black smoke from exhaust and or the exhaust going black after a short journey.
Mine runs very rich on gear changes, a puff of black until the exhaust is hot (2-3) hard runs and then the glowing backbox usually ignites the excess fuel resulting in a massive flame licking up the bootlid of the car
, god bless a fully wrapped exhaust system!
