Default running rich....i think...

Hey guys, well in the beginning of may i got protuned.. it was an open source tune. my mods were as follows.

short ram intake
catless turbo back exhaust
walbro fuel pump
detchworks 650cc injectors.

got some decent final numbers seen in my signature but down to business

driving around im shooting flames and after stopping my car after driving it reeks of fuel... all my buddies come up and say "damn your rich bit(h"

so what can i do, i really cant afford at this time to get an other tune..

oh and ps im getting about 10-15mph driving normally.

If you don't have an AP or a tactrix cable, find someone who does, borrow their hardware and a laptop. Use open source software to pull logs on a 4th gear pull, that should tell you all you need to know...

Put a wideband A/F gauge in. You can get one for $250 shipped. AEM,LC1 etc. Then you will know for sure. You should know your target AFR's for your tune already. If it is extremely hot/humid outside, car will run slightly richer if it was tuned on a cool, dry day.
