Default got headers in

got my headers in yesterday and its freakin loud lets see how long i can stand it. it feels faster by my butt dyno but iv'e heard of cars running rich after Lt's, am planing on going heads and cam but not for a while so what can i do if am running rich? btw install wasn't that bad it took me and my pal 8hr in my garage. i had a little trouble with the driver header to the y-pipe but got it done. it seems to scrapes a little over speed bumps but it would do that before, this was my first header install and i think it went well. it's of to the track friday so i'll have some times from me and my friends KB Cobra

I just finished up putting in new Pacesetters on a 98 Formula. I was very surprised with how good they fit. Both sides slipped right in very easy. I had to lift the motor very minimal to get the drivers side in. I put the Hooker ORY on with the long tubes and it fit fairly well. It vibrated on the floor board a little. All in all I was very happy with the way things turned out.

You will be fine on the stock tune, its nothing that it cant handle. I'am waiting to install a cam soon, so I'am holding off on the tune until that happens. Just wait until the heads/cam get installed then go and get tuned. You can also pick up MAFT and use that for your A/F ratio.

my car was feeling a little slugish so i reset the pcu, when i went to start it it wouldn't idle but a few min of holding the rpm got it idling good. it idles a little lower than before but not much, the difference driving it is totaly different, from a dig before is where it seamed slugish but now it just loses traction and slides, and top end has changed also.
