Little bit of backfiring, sounds like **** when I did drive it, at idle sound awesome, when I was driving it it almost sounded like a machine gun, can't drive it, kept stalling out the other day on my way to work

Another posibility on the plug side, is somewere along the lines of them removing the plug and re-installing them on installation, the droped a plug and closed the gap or something, and believe me, with lt1's anything is bound to happen on the pasenger side, I just changed my first set of LS1 plugs and took less than an hour total, all I can say about that is there is no comparisson between an ls1 and an lt1 on plugs
Good Luck bro, hope you get it sorted out. Go to the shop and watch if they will let, you, and get a glimps at those plugs!

Well got the car back from MORE, runs much better. Had two cracked spark plugs and a cracked coolent sensor. But now Im throwing codes, PO171 two times, and PO174 two times. Each one says Engine running lean both Bank 1 and Bank 2. Will the computer adjust to this or will I need a dyno tune.

Allright since I got out of the gym the codes have vanished. But Ive notice a strong smell of gas and exhaust everytime I drive the car. Is this a characteristic of the ORY and no cats. I swear I get a headache from it and reak of gas once Im done driving. Do you think I have a leak somewhere?

Im kind of confused why you posted question after question on here and then when people gave their opinion you said I dont have time to screw with it I'm taking it in. Should have just taken it in from the get go.
Glad you got it working though.
As for reaking of gas, thats the lovely smell of exhaust is from your lack of cats.
