why would you not want lambda control? if your tuner knows what he is doing it is very easy to include it

reasons for: clean burn, fuel consumption

reasons against: lower torque than richer mixture (which is why your chosen tuner doesn't like it i believe?)

As its mainly used on track we decided against it running lean on cruise in order to cool the engine down.

On the way back from the Ring, with the enforced "go-slow" due to the transmission making funny noises, we got 290 miles out of a tank full with 10 litres left in the tank

.

This was three-up and loaded to the max with all Franco's skin-care beauty products

i might not have worded that 100%

by definition, running lambda control means that you are neither rich nor lean, but perfect burn (actually, the way a narrow band sensor works and how it's used means that you run lean then rich then lean etc, cycling around the point of perfect burn - so you are kind of correct)
