No it is not normal. I would install a wide band air/fuel gauge and you want the mixture at 11.5/1 in the upper rpm band under wide open throttle. Bob

fwiw he(previous owner) probably had it dyno tuned....you do NOT want to just run a power programmer on it...if anything you need to take it to a dyno and have someone tune it for you...

MY friend and i both had LTs ory and borla, and we both would see our tips light up when we shifted. It didnt happen all the time though. I was running real rich back then too.
