Default running rich?

my 08 train has a SE heavy breather, hooker troublemakers and a pcv. i think its running a bit rich cause i have some black soot at the tip of the pipes and the gas mileage isnt that great. plus i had a buddy tell me while riding behind me that when i ripped past him, he could smell it and it smelled a bit rich. fuel moto gave me the map should i tell them this or can i do something to the tune to make it better.

get a hold of jamie he will give you a new map,make sure you store all these maps on your computer and then you can compare them to how the bike is running and you will be able to make slight adjustments at certain rpms to get better gas mileage with out loosing performace
