Well, I would'nt go by those signs alone.. However, it is VERY possible, even with your mods, you are rich. Thes pieces of **** always run rich from the factory... that's half the reason they never pass ******* emissions! Anyway, with Intake, DP and catback, you are most likely safe. For safetys sake, don't hold off on getting that ECU though!

At idle it should be rich it should go lean when you throttle it. Also it should bounce back and forth when you are driving it.
