Default Car running pig rich help need opinions, thanks!

I thought with a popcharger, hfc's, plenum spacer and exhausts I would start leaning out a bit but I'm still running very rich. Any reason for concern here fellas?

1) Can you post your dyno showing your AFR?
2) Clearly you should look into engine management or a reflash

rofl, shhh, dont point that out! no dyno yet, i guess i should go get one soon. havent done anything with engine management. ive read that most people run really lean after getting most of the breathing mods but i have yet to experience this. car is still running rich, just thought it was strange.

Moved.

If you haven't done a dyno and you don't have a Wideband on the car (not listed in your sig) how do you know you're running rich?

What is considered running rich? Could you guys please look and comment on my A/F ration on this dyno? Thanks a lot! mods: mrev2 and 5/16 iso on 05 reup.

Is there another way I can get you a scan of the dyno so you can view it?

make sure to post dyno again. You are running abit rich at low end, but it's safer to be rich than lean. get a reflash after mods and you potential can gain some MPG at cruising speeds, not to mention more power

I would say the Kinetix HFC's would be the issue.

With a change to your headers or cats you need a reflash or a engine mgmt unit.

What are your AFR's anyway? Don't think you mentioned it...
