Default Running hot after putting in new pipe

I added a new tuned pipe and the engine seems to run a bit hot after a few laps. Do I richen the main needle? If so, should I lean out the idle needle to compensate for the rich main needle? How much if I do lean out by?

Default RE: Running hot after putting in new pipe

making the main needle richer will cool it down abit, try it and if the engine stalls at a idol open it up a little. You can only try if it gets to hot thats bad
