How can we trick the car into running richer?

Let's pretend that with cold air intakes, and/or performance exhaust systems, that the air/fuel ratio leans out - perhaps even leaner than ideal. How would I trick the car into running richer?

Perhaps you could replace the air intake temp sensor with a high resistance resistor? Though this would also retard the timing.
why would it retard timing. Isn't timing a leard fuction via the knock sensor?

anyway take a look at this mixture control

Bugszrt, it's cause he's got aftermarket headers on.
My brother just got headers on his charger. He is going to the dyno and will have the A/F charted. I believe headers will make a speed density system run a little leaner but from what I've seen these cars need to be leaned out some.

I will post the before headers and after headers A/F readings.
