Default Running really rich.. Please help!

I put my car on a dyno to see what I got from my long tube install, and I paid a little extra to get my A/F ratio. My A/F ratio was 10:1, and I only made 300rwhp, and 324rwtq. I was really dissapointed about that. What can I do to lean my A/F ratio out a little? I don't have 500 bucks to buy Edit, and I don't think there is anybody around here that does custom tuning. Please help!!!! My mods are in my sig.

The poor mans method of leaning out his car is to port the MAF.

Porting the MAF will cause the LTFTs to go even more positive, which will result in even more fuel being dump in at WOT,, just what he does not want.

Best low cost solution,, get a MAFT.

You show that you have an HPP3 and a GMAF. My GMAF made me run richer at WOT. Also, what did you do with the HPP3??

With your mods, it does not seem that you need the GMAF. I would re-install the factory MAF and remove any programming that you might have done with the HPP3 unit. Drive the car around for a learning process (PCM learning), then go back to the dyno. Also, the MAFT is still a good option after the above.

Yes, I have the HPP3, but I don't use the "tuning", because I spray. I only use it for shift points, rev limiter, etc. I'll try throwing the OEM MAF back in and see what happens. Thanks guys. I'll also try to get a MAFT.
