Anything helping more air get in there without some more fuel probably isn't a good thing.

another question here. Is there a way to get more fuel in the motor w/o getting upgraded injectors? what about a fuel pressure regulator? i just dont need to pay for injectors then a tune again

You're gonna have to retune it anyways dude. Might as well do it the right way. Get a regulator and some injectors. Stock injectors don't like 90psi for a long period of time. I hope you have a better pump too.

If you have a large pump and a stock FPR you're probably at 80psi anyways. A regulator won't help richen it up. Again, GO GET SOME INJECTORS AND A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. Unless you're clueless about cars you can get it to run just fine with out paying the man at the dyno. Lean is mean but it can also be dangerous. I'm just telling you what I think you should do. Take the advice or not. It's not my car. Do with as you will. Just trying to help save you from hurting your motor.
