Default Procharger FMU - Advice Needed!

So I've got the old Procharger mechanical FMU on my car and part of me thinks that it could be partially responsible for my car running as rich as it does.

I'm not sure what to do for an upgrade however, what would even replace it? It's a '95 so I can't do too much with the computer but Tunercat is an option thankfully.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ditch the fmu and get some bigger injectors. What it sounds like though is that you need to get her tuned and get her leaned out some. What size injectors do you have in there now?

How much boost are you running?. Your stock regulator plus bigger injectors will replace your fmu. The fmu helps out if your running small injectors. But in your case I would get rid of it.

10#'s currently, but planning to amp it up once I get a bigger blower. Is there no worthwhile upgrade to a stock fuel regulator?

I've seen your car around. Where in Utah are you? I ran 42's with my procharger, no fmu, and tuned it with tunercat. It ran awesome just like that. Get rid of that fmu and tune it properly. You will be much happier.

Ditch the fmu. Its a bandaid for stock injectors.

Why do you think the stock computer is a handicap?? It can work quite well.
