sounds to me like the MAF is dead or very close. Nissans MAF sensors like to go lean as they get old. which your seems to be in a bad way. at 17 i dont think the car would get with a crap. Either u have a intake leak or the MAF is bad. you have to much air like a intake leak. have someone that knows something about it check it out.

Somehow I doubt the engine can even get up to 17 AFR on N/A mods (especially without throwing any codes or going into limp mode...). This could simply be an inaccurate measurement.
Was it 17 AFR throughout the entire RPM band? What was the range, lowest to highest?

+1 on MAF.
I had my Popcharger oil get on my MAF and that
leaned the crap out of my A/F ratio.
First check the MAF. If that's not causing the problem,
time for ECU reflash. With full bold-ons, especially with headers,
you need to reflash your ECU anyway.

If your mass air flow sensor is dead you would not be able to even dyno. The car would not rev past 3000 if that was the fact. I feel the mass air flow sensor could be dirty, or have a connection problem. If it was dead the tcs light and cel light would be on all the time also.
If you want to check what your check engine light is showing get a OBD scanner for like $50 bucks.

This could easily be an air leak after the MAF sensor. I noticed that you had a plenum installed. This could result in unmetered air getting in if installed incorrectly. If you register a certain amount of air, and then allow more to enter without being metered, the ratio will lean out (stated above by someone else). If the MAF wasn't working, or producing unrealiable results the computer would ignore the input and rely on other sensors to determine ratio. The first thing I would check is the install of the plenum, tightess of the bolts, etc... Good luck!
.i will try to clean my MAF.

u cant clean the MAF there is no adjustment on it either. YOU WILL DESTROY IT!!! you have to find someone with a OBD II scanner and see what codes there is and see how its running. I dont think you know what your doing when u checked for intake leaks. U cant see them and you have to be looking at the sensor readings while checking them. plz take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

You can clean the maf sensor. You need to buy maf cleaner though. The only way you would blow it with the correct cleaner; is if you put it back together wet.

You can check for intake leaks by spraying ether (starting fluid) around the plenum and listening to the idle. If the idle goes up while spraying, it means the fluid is getting into the air stream, and you have a leak. This is a crude method, but usually very effective to check for installation probs.
