Default Tuning??

I recently put on headers, new cats and cold air intake and my engine light comes on. I need to tune and was wondering if the hypertech max programmer would fix my problem with my air/fuel.

The first thing you need to do is get that code scanned to find out what it is exactly. Chances are it does have to do with the headers though.

Not sure if hypertech will even get it as close as you'd like it, best way is to get a dyno tune.

Yep just let the pro deal with it. In the end you will be better off with some more HP as well!
