Runnin rich after LT install I know my car is running rich since I !cats and went true duals. How bad is this on the car? I need to get it tuned, but it may be a couple months before I can do it. Will I hurt the car in any way? What kind of power can I expect after I get it tuned?
By the way, I ran it for the first time today after the install.

with a 2.1 60' 
Can I expect a little more at the track after the tune? Thanks for the input.

With a full tune you could gain 10-15rwhp. I thought mine was rich too after LTs and duals, but it was actually lean. still gained between 10-15rwhp if i remember correctly...

Is there a way to tell if you're rich or lean without diagnostics? And what is the potential damage from lean and rich conditions? I assume I am rich because the fumes are always present. Not unbearable, but definitely can smell it always.

i did heads, cam, headers and pulleys at the same time. went in for the tune and i was running 10.5 to 1 af, so i was pretty rich. car ran fine though, you should be fine also. you will gain from a tune, but i dont know about 15 hp, id guess around 10.
