Default Modded B18A - Need a separate AFC??

After much hemming and hawing, I decided just to build up my daily B18A driver instead of going LS/Vtec. That being said, here's what I got:

B18A1 engine
Head Portflow ported/polished
Crower 403 cams, springs/retainers
Eagle LS H-rods
P30 Pistons (standard size) (11.1:1 c/r)
Skunk2 IM
AEM Cam gears
AEM CAI
B&M FPR

With all this additional 'gear' will it be necessary to get a separate AFC (thinking of an apexi S-AFC). I don't want it to run too lean so does anyone know if this would work with the stock ECU programming and boosted fuel pressure? I wasn't planning to chip the ECU and I will eventually make it to the dyno once the remaining parts are in [still need to add a 60mm TB, header and catback exhaust] but does anyone know how she'll run until then? We've got 93 octane here in NY (94 @ Sunoco ) so I "think" it should be ok but wanted to know if anyone who has a similar setup can confirm. Thanks.

It's good to have it because you will definitely run very rich at idle, which is bad for fuel consumption, catalytic converter and your health from smelling all that unburn fuel.
