CAI question-More air=need for more gas?

I finally got everything that I need to make my cai, but I got to thinking. In order for me to really get the full potential out of all that extra air that's going to be going in there, I'm going to need more fuel in there to burn along with it. I know my stock computer isn't going to recognize the extra air that's going in there so it's not going to send me any more gas. Is there a chip that I can get or is there something else I'm going to have to do?

Never mind. I found a ECU on Howel Automotive. Best thing about it is that it not only does what I want, but also has a higher rev limiter and no govoner!!!

the next best thing for you is a header and muffler, fuel is not an issue with just bolt-ons. a pcm will give you more hp but your not at that stage yet, first do exhaust and pulleys

so the dohc muffler I'm about to put on should equal it out then? I want to get a header but the great debate is mid tube or long tube? I think I want more mid range. Acceleration is good. By the way, firsttimer95 is now FuriousMachine95.
