Ok,
So some time ago I got my chip tuned by Apex motorsports, but since I've bored, and stroked my engine, put on long tubes, new injectors, maf, gears - you get the idea. I shift hard and a plume of smoke comes out of my pipes.. I have a feeling i'm running rich. My chip had been blind tuned, but thats all thats been done since the install of all this stuff. I'm in the Sacramento area. Anyone know of a local shop?
Also, when I took my LTs off, I noticed that my heads' exhaust ports have caked up carbon against one side of all my ports (the side that the exhaust would ride against when expelling the exhaust). I would think that this build up would hurt my performance. I'm assuming this is because I'm running rich. Any ideas?
Thanks guys!

Well the problem is... its not just a film... its a build up with thickness. Unfortunatly roughly the thickness of how much I got my exhaust ports ported... meaning that negates my porting. Any ideas on how to get that stuff out of there without pulling my heads? I've torn my engine apart about 5 too many times... ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
