need some input

Just installed a cam. Car previously ran a little on the rich side and is now running very rich. Is it "safe" to rip on the car with such an odd air/fuel ratio?

Quick, simple, maybe unnecessary question...but I'd rather be on the safe side.

yep. just wanted to make sure.

what would you consider "real bad"? also...there is an AIR leak (or vacuum leak) rather small leak at that. Gotta wait a couple of weeks for LTs and a tune... :sigh:
