Default hmmm not so good

well i hooked up my a/f gauge. under and driving condition its at complete lean. i jsut took it down my drive and saw that so i backed up. im running a base te map and 450s on a NA setup. i think im gonna get a fuel pressure reg to see if turning up the fuel pressure will help...any suggestions

Check if it was connected right, also those only work at WOT, you probably know that, so it will only read somewhat accurately if you hit the gas all the way down while you are driving it.

It should not be all the way lean with your setup

I don't think that grounding to the battery would make a difference, all ground on the car ends up at the battery, the wire length you have to run to the battery would probably be the same resistence as the body going to the battery.

the best way to use an a/f gauge is to give it its own O2 sensor or it will always be off
