I installed my 70mm throttle body and ported upper intake yesterday! I think I may have found a potential problem With the engine. After I pulled off the stock plentum I noticed that there was a small amout of gasoline pooling at the bottom of my lower intake manifold. Any ideas on what could cause this or is this even a problem? The car only has 56k on it.

How does the car run? How is the gas milage? I think that if its running real rich that might happen.

The car seems to run fine. Gas milage is pretty bad though, only about 14-15 to a gallon.

Last full tune up was done about 10k ago. Is there any way to tell for sure that you are running rich?
