Wtf???? Put my LTs on a week ago, car ran fine for the week and as Im driving the day before yesterday the SES light started blinking and the car started to slug. Pull over to the side on the road give the car a quick over look eveything looked fine. Get it to the house look over it again find nothing. Next day start it up drive it around, ran fine all day. Today started up fine, as soon as I go to get on the highway started to lug again. Now it only does this on acceleration, crusing its fine. Any insights?
My Post from last week. I did everything forum members listed (new O2s, new plug wires, spark plugs) got it all in today, started it up everything ran fine, let it run for about 10 mins shut it off for 5 started it up again, drove it for about 2 miles, then the SES light started blinking and car ran like ****. It holds back until 2000 RPM then its fine, giving it gas between 1200 and 2000 it stalls or slugs so to say. When idle the oil does dance a little bit, but nothing to be alarmed over, still reads well between operation range. I tried giving it a cycle driving it stop and go traffic for abour 10 miles. I have a TSP Heads/Cam Package (stage 2.5, 228/232 113LSA) sitting in the Garage, waiting on a little more funds) Any insight on if its a problem I should try and solve or just leave it to the shop thats putting all my **** in and see if its something tune out. Thanks Bros.

hmmm... I'm not sure... but it sounds like you might need a y-pipe bumpstop... this is what mufflex has to say...
"It's a well known fact that all LS1-F Body cars have a "banging" issue, when a set of long tube headers are installed. This banging causes the knock sensor to activate, causing a timing retard, taking away much needed horsepower under hard acceleration"
