Running rich! My 96 formula is running rich. If I up the fuel pressure on the aeromotive regulator will I lean it out a little? I have always had a problem with the car running rich. Its been mailorder tuned and adjusted about 5 times. I just want to lean it out a little because it is at a stoiac 14.1-1.

New England Dyno in Douglass on Rt. 16 does LT1 dyno tuning.....My car is there now waiting to be dynoed. The only thing is the car may be there a while because they use LT1 edit and the 96/97 need a pcm upgrade (so im told by the guy there). So hopefully your formula isnt a daily driver.

Mid-High 11:1 is good to shoot for. Funny you mention that, it took playing with multiple jet sizes to be sure. I'll never just put in 'recommended' jets for a hit of nitrous again. Wideband ???.
