Extremely Rich

Well last month I dyno'd my '85 Camaro Z28 with an 87(?) LB9 engine in it. We noticed it ran rich...very rich...

Engine is stock, nearly 150K miles, cat back exhaust, gutted lid, TB coolant bypass. the car runs 15.4's at 87-88mph.

Question is, why is my engine running so rich and what can I do to lean it out?

Re: Extremely Rich

Havn't checked the fuel pressure yet, I last set the timing at 6*, I'll double check it.
