Do you have a wideband? That would tell you how rich it is. Might want to take it back to your tuner and get that ironed out.

I love that smell. It's almost as good in the morning as coffee

Did you remove the cats when doing said motor mods? (for some reason I can't see your sig)

Were is your wideband mounted? I had a problem with it getting too hot and causing boggus readings. Other than that, no cats will do that. I have a 2010 Camaro with no cats and it smells just like that... wonderful.

At idle the magic number is 14.7 You will have a variation where it will read 14.7 or around, very steady, then jump to 15-ish and drop to 13-ish, and then level back out. High 12 seems a little lean to me. I'm running 11.3 WOT.
