I thought it was around a hundred miles that the computer finally adjusts, but I could be wrong, and probably won't be set perfect until you do get a tune. Wait until you get a cam though, unless your not planning on doing that, then go ahead and get it tuned.

I wont be able to afford a cam for some time (or until my commision kicks back in) so I might try just a "dial in" session. When it's running right it and i hammer it in 2nd it breaks the tires loose, i mean from a decent mph roll....but the other day i did the same thing and it climbed rpms really slow....i dunno, my car has gremlins, it has for a while..... I need a tune for sure

Makes sense...I have seen guys with stg II ported heads and the 224/224 .561+ inchs of lift passing smog....so the tune isnt going to affect it unless it's real aggresive?

Question about headers Hi
I just put headers on my car and it seems to be running fine. It did pick up additional power after driving it for a while. My question is, after headers does it usually run lean or rich? I did notice a little bit of mis-firing at WOT when I first put them on. I assumed this was lean. Any input appreciated.
Thanks JA
