can anyone tell me if there will be any advantages of running a one stop colder plug since im borderline lean? Being that im already lean, nitrous set up is out of the question?

Has anyone thought what the greatest single individual loss item is in using a chassis dyno: clutch, tranny in direct gear, drive shaft, diff, half shaft, wheel bearings, wheels, tires, alignment under acceleration [rear thrust angle]? Hint the rear diff doesn't exceed 3.4% above 25 mph.

How can a A/F ratio meter be accurate when stuffed in a tail pipe [with a series of cats reacting the excess fuel in front........always shows significant lean errors unless ACCURATE Wide Band is bunged in to headers before first cat!
For about 75 years engines generally have produced the highest peak torque with 12.5AF [+-0.25] and peak HP with 12.2AF [+- 0.25] as measured close to exhaust port.
Nissan typically uses a REAL WOT AF of 10-11.5 A/F at high rpms.

Its hard to read but there is a faint yellow diagonal line across the chart which shows the RPMs. The A/F ranged from 13.5 to 12.5 approaching 6000 RPM.
This is my car using a tailpipe sniffer done the very next day on another dyno:
Almost the same, with some variance around 6000RPM but I am guessing that around the time the foot was let off the gas.
If the machines are calibrated and operating properly, they should be reasonably accurate.
