Default Dyno Tune

I just installed my headers awhile back and I was wondering if you need to get the car dyno tuned after or if the car is fine and getting a dyno tune is really just needed after you do a cam and all the other goodies

Yeah, you will pull a little bit from a dyno tune after headers. However if you are planning on doin a cam, you might as well wait till then. A dyno tune will be a much better investment to a cam'd car

Most people after headers run on the richer side, but it always a good idea to check it out just in case.

I was running crazy lean after my LT install, however most seem to run rich. Im just glad I didnt get on it hard before my tune. That could have been bad.

Check your a/f ratio and go from there.

Good Luck and Take Care.

Its a good idea, i'll be getting tuned this month or the beginning of next month. About a year since I installed my headers. I figured since i'll be putting in the converter, nows a good time to get it tuned
