Question about fuel:air mixture
If I am worried about running to lean or to rich, what is a good way to check/correct these problems? Would it be a good idea to invest in an s-afc or something similar?
The best way to check is to get a wideband O2 sensor and a good Air/fuel gauge. This will tell you the parts of air to fuel ratio.
There are many ways to change the fuel/air ratio. A S-AFC would be a good way to adjust this.

the wide band 02 is around $1000. you don't buy one. you find a shop that has one and pay to use it.
but I can bet you are running too much boost and too lean from your mods. before you do anything else and before you floor your car again buy a boost gauge. if it goes over 10psi LET OFF!. next buy a bigger fuel pump. that'll keep it safe to around 10psi. but I bet you are hitting 15.
