New mod, need to reprogram?
I am just about to install an M2 medium intercooler and an RX7-Fashion cold air intake. Previously I put in a downpipe, hiflo cat and catback. At that time order my PFC programmed from SR Motorsports program for those exhaust mods. When I install the IC and air intake will I need to get the PFC reprogrammed? From what I have read on this forum is that most of the mail order programmed PFC are tuned to be too rich to begin with. So will I be able to run safe?

Most likely but, for the hundredth time, you need to verify that the map is safe on YOUR car. Take the car to a dyno with a properly functioning wideband sensor and make sure you are running at 11.5:1 or less through the boost range. If not, back out of the throttle and add a little bit of fuel to those cells.

Rynberg is right,
You need to first verify if your maps are safe for YOUR car, before you start adding more mods that will lean it out even more.
Until you do that, I'd keep the boost way down.
