I have seen many engines that were balanced well enough with stock injectors to run comfortably lean of peak.

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.
