a leaner mixture will give more power, try running around the block with your mouth full of water & then try it without, which is easier?

the combustion of air & gasoline causes the rapid expansion of gases (fumes) that cause the piston to be moved down, the more gases in the camber already the less the have to be "created" by combustion. That's why Turbos & S/C can work on a un-tuned car, but to keep a Soitch AFR you have to add more fuel to match the amount of air. it all has to do with compression, more air in the camber, then it can compress, In short, a leaner Stoich mixture will give more power.
