Really Wierd Ft Problem on my friends 01 formula we put a TREX cam and we went to get it tuned and we strapt it down for a baseline (untuned) and it was way lean, so we got out the Tech 2 and checked out the Fuel trims and they were 0 at idle and -25 both sides on the throttle...Whats up with that??? We pulled the plugs and every one of them was BLACK (rich) these were brand new plugs..We were told to make sure it was dot to dot and it was...The tuner said that it could be a bad cam.is this true?? what would cause the Wide band to say lean and the plugs to say rich???\
The car has kooks lid and basics..
We put a stock MAF and tune on it and the problem persisted???
Any help would be GREAT!!!!!

-25 is mega rich. - trims subtract fuel (lean out) and + trims adds (richens). Do you have a Wideband. Was a PT tune done before strapping it to the dyno? Do you have a log and tune
