Get a ScanGauge or UltraGauge, spend some time getting it calibrated, and then use the short trip measurement to ABA test your mods.
If OP is running anything but stoichiometric, a Scangauge or Ultraguage will be really inaccurate too, as they don't use air-fuel ratio in their calculation. The way to get accurate numbers in a lean burn vehicle is with an MPGuino.
