Default A/F ratios

How lean can one go and still not get into detanation in a N/A engine on methanol? For instance in my sbc 406 about 4.75/1 is as lean as i have tried. I still get quite a bit of oil dilution, so i assume I am still pretty rich, but I am afraid to go much leaner for fear of burning a hole in a piston. does anyone know if I can go, say 5/1 or maybe a little more 5.25/1 and still be safe, and maybe solve some of the dilution or at least cut back on it some.
