Car appears to be running very lean. Any ideas?

Little history to start. Had the car tuned and ran datalog after logging a few miles. My BLM's looked pretty good and the tuner said there was no reason for any more adjustments. My cells looked pretty good with 16 (idle) & 18 (start-up, at higher loads) being real lean and all the rest were real good. I have been driving the car for a while and adjusted the rockers and changed the spark plugs. Now my cells 1,2,9,14,16,17 & 18 are the darkest green meaning real lean and cells 3,5 & 6 are lean but between ideal & real lean. My fuel pressure looks fine and it idles with more vibration than usual. What would you recommend i do?

Look for a vacuum or air leak in the tube behind the maf. Likely have unmetered air coming in somewhere.

By real lean what kind of blm numbers are you getting?

These are the ones that had the most hits. I will check for leaks after the maf.
