Default Header Wrap & Tune

I had my car tuned, open loop, SD dyno, before I wrapped my crossover.

Wrapped the crossover and while I was checking the trans fluid noticed some primaries glowing red, nothing changed between the time before/after wrap, should I have it adjusted tune wise now?

The wrap wouldn't affect anything at idle. Did you remove anything to put the wrap on? You could have a vacuum leak.

Nope, just un bolted crossover and bolted it back up. Did not notice any difference in vac readings at idle.

Only change really was thats its gotten to be ~40F out and it was tuned at prob mid 60s...

No re-tune required.

Guess its going back to the tuner.

Only other change was tossing in a 200amp alternator vs the stocker. So much better voltage at hot idle now, but that shouldn't effect things.

Edit: I am an idiot. Tune was done on crappy alternator and the injector vs voltage offset is probably all sorts of F'd up now.

Bingo. May not be that table exactly but diff voltage can effect all sorts of things.

Enough to cause glowing header primaries is the question though, wish I knew how to tune things

I can try, gonna first get in contact with the tuner and go from there. Just sucks to install the alternator, gotta swap pulleys back etc.
