Default Post-SLP Header Install

i just recently installed SLP LT headers with a custom 3inch X-pipe to Magnaflow 4x9's dumped. also installed MSD 8.5mm wires and NGK TR55 spark plugs. as i drive the car rides normal like i expected alittle more shaky feel from under the car and more ticking noises here and there. one thing i noticed is that while i am driving and i am coming up to a red light and i throw it into neutral. the rpms will drop alittle below 1K and come back up n drop again and come back up and it does that will i get below 10mph. now lets say i am driving and i have my A/C on and i just throw it into neutral for the hell of it the RPMs will dop and stop between 1K and 1500rpms. and then as i start to slow down with it still in neutral it will go up and down slowly from 1K to 1250rpm. car runs awesome and at WOT the car sounds to me sick. normal driving my previous system SLP LM sounded good but my new set-up sounds better at WOT. but just wanted to make sure those small little surges aren't anything horrible. thanks

How much driving have you done since the header install? It could be the PCM "relearning" after the changes.

just my .02, but you might want to check your MSD wires and make sure that they are all on tight. It could be a cylinder missing every now and then.

but it doesn't happen every now and then it happens all the time. i was thinkin it was the computer learning it since i installed the system on the weekend of Jan. 21-23. but i must say it is all worth it.

Joel, once you tune, Post-cam install, these idle surges should go away.
