the best way to check is to go to a dyno with a wideband A/F gauge and check it that way. I bought my 5.0 and it already had a fuel gauge on it so im not sure if there is a place on your FPR to add a gauge. But even if you go to a dyno you can get your pressure right, and your a/f right so you know your not too rich or lean, and you can also see what you are putting down.

you should pull your MAF sensor and check to see if it is clogged with dirt, that was my problem. if it is clogged, electrical cleaner should clean it with some q-tips, but be careful, dont want to pay another 100 for that part.

You would be hard pressed to run rich with a stock puter in a 94-95 (sans Cobras, which came with a nice tune). I would be lookin elsewhere - and it sounds like a good tune up is in order. SHould you choose to do it yourself, you will find ample assistance in here and learn a bit about the car.

Good luck.
