Yes, keep clean oil in it, it gets gas past the rings and the PCV system reburns those rich oil fumes. Keep the throttlebody clean, take it off and clean it really good, new gasket to put it back on. Keep the coolant full and changed every couple of years, keep the air out so the idle controller works properly as it is warming up. Have the O2 sensor scoped for proper activity, a lazy O2 (A/F sensor) will mess things up and keep it tuned up to properly burn your proper AF ratio.

With proper sensors the computer regulates the AF ratio all by itself.

You need a wideband O2 sensor and your viewscreen to view it, some laptop software would be better but everything is up to your budget.

on my opinion zeitronix takes the price; cheap, it comes with datalogging software and egt input. It also now comes with a linear wideband output.

ok be nice to the NOOB... Yes you can buy something such as an Apexi VAFC or SAFC, or some other form of an Air/Fuel Controller. It's not really very necessary on a stock application, but it can help with some mods. hope the helps..
