from what ive read it seems running too lean (too little fuel) can be dangerous, while rich (too little air) just leaves a little power on the table. correct me if wrong, i may have those backwards. my car seems to run rich from prior feedback from Steve, Im trying to understand why and if tinkering with the maf scaling could correct it.
There is nothing unsafe about it. If you are happy with the way the car runs and the power it makes, and you don't want to spend months educating yourself on the matters of an ECU then leave it as it is.

If you don't mind turning tuning into a hobby and spend countless hours reading and tinkering, then yes it would probably benefit from a MAF scaling. Expect to do a lot of other adjustments afterwards.

A quick fix might be to reduce the values above 3.2 volt in your MAF scale by 4%. Before doing so, do a few more logs with 50 miles apart and check that your LTFT is stay around the 1.56 value it's at now. If your LTFT jumps around it won't be a good solution.
