Get a s-afc and some dyno time, or meet someone w/ a wideband o2 sensor.

S-afc is a fuel controller. hes telling you to go to the dyno and tune it all out so your not running so rich.

i don' t see why you should be running so rich with only those mods. If anything you should be lean. Do you have a FPR on there, or a bigger fuel pump? bigger injectors? your injectors might need to be rebuilt, and balanced. I used to run rich and had my injectors done, then power came back and got better gas mileage. the S-afc is nice, but it would only be a bandage in this situation. Something you should ultimately will need though.

I agree with fastrotaries.With a port job and exhaust mods your engine should be begging for more fuel.Are you running stock injectors?A S-AFC is a must from the sounds of it.
