Default ARH install question

hey guys, i just got American racing headers in, since i had them installed, it seems like if i pass 4000rpm its backfiring, only tried it twice ... i was wondering if its simply a tuning thing or should i get something checked? all that was done to it is headers and plugs/wires on that day ..and other mods to now are just exhaust (put on last year), do you think its possible the gaskets are put on wrong?

thanks

Sounds like tunning, when my friend installed headers on his vette when he would let off at higher rpms it would pop alot. Once he got it tuned it stopped.

Check your plugs and wires make sure everything is plugged back in like coil packs and all the sensors on the lower pass side and make sure that wire bundle is not burned for being on the headers. If I can help in any way PM me or call the shop direct
