FCD questions

Okay... my car was hitting fuel cut (barely) so I installed an FCD..

Mods are just exhaust (3" dp - 2" duals)
intake and the rest is basically stock.

Is there any danger in using the FCD? It's boosting to like 9PSI, tops...

how will a boost controller make the car not lean out? Boost controllers can't LOWER boost, only raise it.

Won't hurt a thing if you leave things original, and the original things are functioning right. Like is the fuel pump getting a full 12v when you are boosting at 9psi, would be the question I would be asking myself.
