Question about Apex Seal?

When you blow an Apex seal on the first rotor, it makes your car run really rich, is it possible to get an AFC to tune it to run a little bit better?

So, let me get this straight? You blew your motor and you want to buy a fuel computer to lean it out to run better? Good grief!

For perspective:

"Hey, I shot two pistons through the valve cover of my 302 Ford. Can I just duct tape the holes and tune the engine to run with 6 of its 8 original cylinders operational? Thanks!"

first get to bottles of naws. the really big ones. then start running a gasoline/methanol mix with 2 qts of atf in it to help with the loss of compression in the front rotor. see where this gets you and THEN see if you need the fuel controller.
