Default Finished installing LS6 heads & valley cover & YT

If you did not know, here is what I have done to the car:

Changed from S2 LS1 heads to S2 LS6 heads
Installed LS6 valley cover
Installed Yalla Terra rockers

The car feels stronger than before and there is way much less noise in the engine after the Yalla Terra rockers! I was going to Dyno, but I had a problem! For some reason after 3 days the engine started to miss fire! It appears to be that the plugs got fouled!!!! I do know after what I have done with my setup, I need to retune the car, but that seems kinda weird! Well, I think I have to change them out and see.

Could it be that I am running too rich now?

two or three times now after a head swap, my 02s became fouled. Dunno what the cause of that is, but when MTI did one for me while I was away, they also had to replace the o2s. I'll bet that that has something to do with it, or you might also check the engine sensors fuse. That might have gotten zapped somewhere if a wire is now getting melted. Im pretty sure 1 of those 2 is it.

Keep having fun in Austin
