need to ask who ever wrote the chip,

if they tell you 5% i would throw the chip in the bin. There is no reason whatsoever for it to run that rich, unless they cant map

if you tweek the global mod screw you have to check the fuelling flat out under full load or it may melt

you thought wrong then,

its name is the GLOBAL modifier, and it adds or subtracts a percentage from the whole fuel table

5% is very very high!

open the ecu and see if the chip has a name & serial number on it; if it hasnt i would get a decent chip for your spec
