This brings up another point then.

I've been told that a BOS setup (ie. enhanced intake and exhaust) tends to
make the motor run lean.  So, one of the changes the LPM makes is to
fatten the fuel tables.  And, I am running an LPM in my car.

Now, I've actually thought that the car was running rich which is the
opposite of previous paragraph, but is consistent with your message.  Keep
in mind I'm running a 3.2L upgrade with 3.0L intake cams.

Then, another series of notes says that if your exhast rasps, this is a
sign of engine running lean.

So, what is the proper way to really get this right?
