Got my car running today after having the engine rebuilt + lots of stuff done. Running real rich, a wideband is showing 9:1 a/f at idle, and leaning out to about 14:1 under boost(9psi). It was running rich before the rebuild, and figured it was my tune but wanted to wait till everything else was taken care of. Here is specs...

thats anything engine related. What i need is the car is still at the shop that rebuilt it. They have a chip burner. I have a enthalpy tuned ecu, but hes not online right now for me to get in touch with him. While it was in the shop I had my ecu mailed to him to be checked out, and he said ecu/chips was all perfect. Just to eliminate a bad ecu. The shop can burn me a new tune (plus they got a dyno) but they are trying to find a base tune or maybe one better than i got right now. Everything is perfect on the motor, oil/fuel pressure, no leaks. Only rich. If anyone has a tune (please excuse my ignorance, i have never had anything to do with burning chips so not sure if im asking for it right) that they can get to burn please let me know? or any other suggestions

If your base tune is close then what you should do is get a piggy back to fine tune, the apexi safc 2 should work perfectly with your set-up

safc does not do that much correction, it would make it better but still not right. i want to get a tune just about perfect, then have the choice to use a safc to fine tune little things. Plus safc is not the best way to tune that much out, as most of what it does is mess with your timing. Having to remove or add that much fuel would throw timing way off
