Default Running lean, what can I do?

I prefer not to spend 500 for LS1 edit or a Predator right now. So what are my other options? I'll be spraying a 100 dry shot by the end of the week, and I need to get it a little richer. It never dropped into the 12's A/F on the dyno, stayed in 14's then dipped into the 13's at the lowest point. Any cheap ideas?

Only mods are Blackwing, and Stainless Works headers.

Yep, got mine on the Forum for $75.00 shipped. There are a few on C5 parts for sale now. I could not believe the difference it made. I Autotapped and found I was running very lean consistantly with my Blackwing, ported MAF and throttle body. The MAFT did the job. :yesnod:

A MAF Translator will do good for adjusting your air/fuel at Wide Open Throttle. Whatever changes you make to part throttle (BASE) it will eventually learn out with the 02s.
