Default After headers and ORY car is F'ed!!!

Well I dont think this has much to do with it but I recently put in some pacesetter LTs and ORY and am happy with it(except for the shitty ORY banging), but after about 30 minutes of driving. I parked the car to wash it... then took it back out and it idles fine and drives fine under low rpms but when i get on the pedal the rpms rise but the car shakes really bad and doesnt really speed up... now it feels like the clutch is slipping, but I dont understand how it could go from driving fine to this without any warning. Also I really didnt drive the car hard when it was not acting up.... SOOO CONFUSED!! Any help will really be appreciated.

Well if you mean the engine is stumbling and acting wierd at high rpm's....its probably spark plug wires touching the new LT's.

Very common.

Don't know about the clutch.

could be a cracked plug or burnt/not fully on wire.
check the wires first before you go through all the hastle and make shure there on and check for burn spots if the wires are fint then its most likely a cracked plug.
are the header bolt tight? a leak there could make the car run like ****.

I had a similar problem when I did my headers. One of the plug wires got loose after that it was fine. But my clutch never slips, maybe you should buy a spec 3.

If you have an ORY you may want to get a tune....
