Default Running rich! HELP!

I recently just did an OBD-1 conversion and the ECU I've got is chipped with a skunk2 chip. Car runs fine and strong and better then ever...only problem is that my gas mileage is suffering because of how rich the car is running. I'm still running stock injectors and have no fuel mods. I have intake, header, exhaust, and a head swap. I think I'm going to either a)get a V-AFC and get my car tuned or b)have titan motorsports tune the car using Uberdata. However I'm wondering if theres anyway to help the car run a little more stoich before I do the big stuff. Thanks for the help.

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> Try using a B&M Fuel gauge, to see what psi you're running. Maybe an Adj Regulator. </FONT>
