If you run rich, can that ruin performance?

I was having problems w/ my maf
so im pretty sure we tuned it so i would be getting more fuel

Now i replaced my maf and it seems as if for the first 5-10 km the car doesn't go as if should
then after that it seems to run decent?
any idea

Running rich can hurt performance both at the track and on the dyno...

Yes, but for safety's sake, Rich is MUCH better than LEAN.
