At 5000rpm im starving for fuel it becomes lean because of the cold air intake and the 75mm throttle body. I have the hypertech programer,what should i do.
I also have; xpipe w/hi flow cats
flowmaster
headers
4:10 gears
msd ignition
lambo doors& more

There's no way you should be going lean with those mods, unless the tune is bad. Was it a canned tune from the manufacturer of the programmer?

Yeah not a chance ur running lean. I have the stock injectors and i dont run lean. Even with a bad tune i would highly doubt you would come even close to running lean. Maybe your fuel pump is not running at full capacity

just go in and adjust the a/f ratio with your hypertech, I've never seen that kind of a handheld tuner before but an xcal2 allows ya to do it.

How about changing the fuel filter?
