I run LOP because air is cheaper than fuel. I have seen many engines that were
balanced well enough with stock injectors to run comfortably lean of peak.

Ditto. If injectors aren't balanced well enough to run LOP, it isn't
doing the engine any favors running it ROP to cover up the problem.
While fuel savings is nice, consider the other benefits: CHT will be
lower, peak cylinder pressures will be lower, which means blow-by and
oil consumption will be less, carbon and other buildup in engine will be
less, oil stays cleaner, plugs stay cleaner. All of that means less
maintenance required. Not to mention you get more range without having
to add tankage. My trip to OSH last summer averaged 11.3 gph for entire
trip, including take-off, climb, etc. and a couple hours of low level
flying trying to get into OSH under ceilings that were around 500 AGL in
most of southern Wisconsin. Most of flight was at 10-11,500 at 60-65%
power. I typically run 10-30 degrees LOP at 65% or less. I have stock
injection with a pair of Bendix S-1200 magnetos. Probably could go
leaner if I got electronic ignition to replace one of the mags. I
haven't pursued trying to get my injectors better balanced.
