Things to check when you're running lean?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motor running really lean. I've got frost white plugs. I installed my Field VAFC and added 10% across the board just to see if the plugs would turn black but nothing happened (Needless to say, I'm getting rid of it). I know fuel filter is new and I have also changed the fuel pump (i don't know if it flows more, it was a walboro I got with my swap). What else do I need to check?
Timing?
Fuel pressure?
?
BTW! I have a stock b18c with just I/H/E.
Thanks guys!

do you have a AFR? Aftermarket i mean. Honestly go to a Dyno and see where your at. Dont go for power gains just to fix your A/F.

Cool! Definitely will go to a dyno. I was just concered to see my plugs that white. I didn't want the possibility of destroying the engine.

as long as you arent boosted or spraying, you should be ok but in the long run you need to address that issue. get a baseline to see where your afr is and go from there.
