Default Running Rich

I sent my PCM to PCMforless.com to correct my speedo for 3.73 gears and to do their normal ignition and feul curve tricks to the PCM.

Im worried that it is running very rich now. The car is running strong and hard, faster than every, but my exhaust tips are very carboned up and black and it sucks the gas now also. But my biggest problem is that the oil pressure has dropped and I am affraid it is because unburnt feul is getting into my oil and causing my bearings to wear out.

Is their tune just dumping feul into the engine? Or is this just because they have the fans setup to turn on at 160 degree coolant temp and this low engine temp causes feul to not burn completely? Ive checked all other components that could be causing this problem and I'm almost positive that the tune setup is the issue. I do not have access top a scan tool of any sort to check feul trim or any other feul related level/measurement.

Thanks
Ben
