somthin fishy with your story. if you engine was runnin too rich it would lickely not even reach second gear. i would almost say you should richen up the HSN untill it runs slow, blubbering rich. and start tuning over.
also dont tune on a full tank. idle warm, take it easy on the engine at first. slowly driving it around to build heat. around the half tank mark start tuning. when the tank gets low, fill to about 2/3rds and continue your tuning. the point to all this is to get the engine good and saturated with heat, and tune only with half tank of fuel.
