Default Cam and Headers With Stock Tuning

Does a cam, headers, and orp make the engine run rich with stock tuning? Would porting the MAF be a cheap way to lean it out?

Most definetly. They did mine. The higher your duration, the worse it'll be, too. Changing the ends wont even come close to correcting it, believe me. The first pull I did before tuning had my A/F near 10...rich as all hell. Don't light a smoke behind your car. A MAFT may get close but it may be a hit-and-miss scenario for you using that method.

If you are going to invest time and money into your car, just get LS1Edit. You can do everything with it, and your mods will actually be worth it after tuning!

Ill try porting the MAF and see what happens. Sounds like it cant hurt since the car will be running pig rich anyway.

Im broke as a joke with more time than money on my hands. Cant afford LS! edit or any kind of tuning. If youre wonderin where I got the money for the cam swap, it came with the z06 intake I bought earlier. The headers were an impulse buy. Anyone know of a good place to sell blood?
