You are going to install the parts but first you have that baseline and if the unmodded car is still stock, then that is your baseline, meaning, take a ride and feel that linear performance.

You install that other unit, you will have to feel for temp changes, knocking, and does the unit out drive the stocker?

At this point, I think you should do one thing at a time and that is to swap out the parts and take it for a base-ride.

If the car picks up the bottom? Then it would seem to me that the fuel is there and I would not add more fuel to the preset of the car now. So, let that chip wait till you ride it and check the spark plugs to tell you the direction of tune.

Too white is too lean (maybe). Too black is rich and the plug should look white with the naked eye but down at the bottom of the plug you want to find that gray or tan ring all the way inside and down at the end of the porcelain.
