car runs rich after installing uicp/licp?

well just a bit confused...

my car with the help of my buddy, is tuned pretty well on e85 and I was running on the stock piping for the longest time.
anyhow I just installed the licp, uicp and the charge pipe and the car is just running much more rich than it used to.
under wot my afrs were around 12.0-12.2
now under wot my afrs are between 11.6-11.9 and the cars feels a tad sluggish driving around town. not to mention my afrs dip into 10.0's when coasting and driving normal through town and when it goes that low the rpms take a dive and then come back to normal.

its obviuos I need a tune to lean out my afrs and bring the car back to the way it was but I always thought that ur car is supposed to run leaner after instaling the hardpipe kit not richer?I double checked all my connections and everything is pretty solid with no leaks anywhere.

anyone else experience their car going richer after installing the hardpipe kit?

my mods before the hardpipe kit were just 1000cc injectors, 02 housing, dp, tbe, and e85 tune

on a side note my car boosts jsut like it did before.
