do i need to adjust fuel on my mods??

I just got my PFC not too long agao and I am just wondering do I need to adjust the fuel richer for my set up?
I have : intake, DP, MP, CB and pulley.. will have M2 IC soon.
If I do need to adjust fuel where should I go and what number should I change? I don't want to mess with it until I absolutely sure what am I doing...
thanks in advance~!

The reason why one would adjust fuel or ignition would be to affect the Air Fuel Ratio. Bring the car into optimum performance for your modifications.

To at least be equiped to do this with the PFC, you'll need a Datalogit and a Wide Band O2 sensor. In sense, you'll now be ready to learn how to tune your own car.

Just changing fuel settings or loading someone elses maps is going to be trying to hit a moving target while blindfolded. How close you get to your target AFR, or even how close you are to being "too lean" is going to be a gamble.

If you want the car tuned, take to someone that has the tools listed above. If you want to do it yourself, get the tools and learn how to do it. It's not quite as simple as changing a couple of settings (actually it is...just knowing how much and which settings AFTER knowing where you're starting from in terms of AFR and where you want to go).

Good luck. The fun part starts now.
