False, too rich is never good. The O2 sensors will fix any thing you try to
do at part throttle... unless you fool the O2 sensor. AT WOT it would not
make a difference as the injectors would not spray any more fuel than what
the computers fuel table tells them what to do. From what Jon has said before
the fuel is rich enough at WOT even with ported throttle bodes, headers, ram
air etc. If there ever does come a time that you need more fuel. (You will
need an air/fuel meter to find this out... Summit $30) you can get what's
called a 9th injector that can come on at WOT it would be put in-line of the
air intake system before the throttle body... but I only suggest this on
HIGHLY modified Dakotas... I'm talking 450+HP ones. The stock fuel system
looks capable of sustaining quite a bit of HP. After that you would probably
need a bigger fuel pump and possibly bigger injectors. Mike Catlin runs
bigger injectors already on his 14.20 CC R/T with out problems so it looks
like you could add them at any time just to be a little safer. Just remember
rich= less HP Stoich = power. Lots of air and the correct amount of fuel to
match it.
