ok, so the KADE runs rich. would i be able to put on an FPR and lean it out a little more? i mean, i would get a wideband to make sure everything is honky-dori. but yea, is this legit?

ywap that is true, what I was trying to get at is it really noticeable, or are you burning a lot more extra fuel? But one way you can make it run better is if you tune with a wideband and some sort of a piggy back, like a safc or something along those lines. I wouldnt really mess with the fuel pressure cause thats just asking for trouble in this situation.

its not running any richer than it should be, i was just looking for a cheap fix to this problem. does an SAFC just wire right up? im kinda new to the whole tuning world

The SAFC will wire up, its not hard to do and will take less than 30 mins if you have any wiring experience. You could tune the A/F ratio with an SAFC and a wideband O2 for a few extra ponies, but dont expect huge gains. Definetly worth it if you are gonna be building the engine further.
