Running rich


I been running a few days on the BAMA 93 performance tune I have, and I'm not 100% sure but I believe I am running real rich now. I don't have a wideband, so all I have to go on is a strong smell of gas and a collection of what looks like black soot on my exhaust tips. I could just be being paranoid... I guess I am just looking for reassurance one way or the other... I'm not getting any CEL or DTC's

Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Did you just recently install the mid-pipe? If not, how long ago was it?

If so, it will take some time for the smell to clear out of the exhaust, so that it runs cleaner.



In any event, I would still datalog the car to be sure. Have you ever done that before? If not, please call my Tuning Specialists tomorrow between 9am-530pm EST and they can walk you through it.

If you have, please still call them so that they may give you the correct parameters to datalog and also the correct driving conditions in which to get the best results.

Their phone number is in my signature.

How has the tune been otherwise, are you pleased with it!?

I hope this helps!

Please let me know if you have any questions in the future!

I installed the mid-pipe around 6 months ago, so I doubt that's it.

I haven't done any datalogging before.

I have a lot going on getting ready for a Halloween party, it may be next week before I have time to call and datalog, but I will certainly call as soon as I have a chance.

Otherwise, I love it!
