Default Car is too lean. What to do?

I just had my car dyno'd and they said I am too lean. I have the typical intake mods with a ported and descreened stock MAF sensor. Is there a way I could richen the mix without too much $ or removing the moded MAF?
Thanks in advance.

Dyno tune or MAFT. MAFT you can probably get for 80 bucks in the classified forum. I think i saw a few in there for sale achually. Just plugs in to the MAF and a few turns of the ***** and your good to go.

I was thinking that would help, but I thought all they did was lean out the mix.
Thanks for the info.
Any other opinions?

You can richen or lean out the mixture with a MAFT <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

flip the direction of the maf sensor--have the arrow on the sensor point to the air filter not the windshield. works for me
