Default fox running VERY rich.

Ok here's the deal,i got my buddies 87 T-top in the backyard on jackstands,trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with it,here's the mods=

CAI
Trick Flow heads
GT-40 upper & lower intake (off of an Explorer)
O/R H-pipe
E-303 FRPP Camshaft

Basically,i crank it up and it runs like straight ass. crank timing is good,i fixed the ignition timing last night,tested the ECT,relocated the AIT sensor,but still nothing. Can anyone help me out? thanks.

he's got most of the vaccuum lines capped,because he doesn't know what's what with the GT40 intakes.

maybe improper valve lash settings, the valves are not opening and closing as they should. thats the most common , and getting the lower intake seated properly

it's an 87, is it speed density? i dont think they respond well to heads intake and cam swaps.
