Leave that number as it is.... it's not what you need to be changing.

You can't go by smell, especially if your car has no cats. Mine smells terrible but the AFR is correct. So you need to hook up a wideband and see what your AFR actually is. This is where you want it for "normal" driving and at idle, unless you have a seriously large cam. Changing it won't correct your AFR, you have to adjust elsewhere to get it to this number.
