... but the plugs look just right. What could cause this. I would think that if the plugs look good -- the a/f would be right. Am i missing something? Ive turned the tweecer to stock tune to make sure its not it. Timing is stock. I have had to add some water to the radiator lately.

Thanks

Why do you think it's running rich? Clouds of black smoke behind you? Smell it at idle? The longtubes will make it smell a bit rich at idle. And if that BBK H-Pipe isn't catted, you'll probably smell enough fumes to make your eyes water...

tailpipes are black, dont have gas smell most of the time, but has that same feel as when it was running fat. Crappy idle. Lack of power. sound of exhaust.

If you are talking about your wot fuel ratio, the Tweecer won't tell you anything.

I see in your sig you got a wb but its not installed.

Just get it up and running and you'll be all set to make things just like you want them to be.

Is this something that just started to happen? That C&L could be causing things to be a little too fat but thats just a guess on my part.

btw......if you did not already know, you can output your wb to the egr input to have your ratio show up in your datalog which means all the data will be in sync.
