My Long Tubes =(
My Long Tubes =( What should i except ? I just got through Installing PaceSetter Long Tubes and for some strange reason it doesn't feel any stronger..... I also went With true Duals at the same time( 2 1/2, X-pipe, 1chamber Flows) Do you think im geting some KR ? Or Maybe im runing like a Rich Pig 
. Also I've heard That Exhaust Vibration (aka- header Hitting FloorPan) Cause Faulty KR ? How could i go About fixing this Guys... Mail order Tune, Dyno Tune, Hell..... MAF ends ?
Any Addvise would be GREATLY aperciated
Thanks Steve-0

I know that after installing my LT's the car felt stronger 
, I would hope that you at least noticed a difference. I bought EFIlive a month or two ago and have logged consistent WOT runs of 11.7 AFR which is rich by anyone's standards. Even with the car showing that rich of an AFR it felt a hell of a lot better than manifolds. I blame my HPPIII for my AFR just haven't checked that out yet. I would buy a logging tool to see your AFR as well as you KR to help trouble shoot what the problem is. I have no cats and LM so it is close to a non-restrictive exhaust like duals.

You may not "feel" a difference. The rumor is, you lose torque down low in a lot of cases, but gain it up high. My car feels weaker than before because I was used to all that low end torque I used to have before I took the cats off. 
I dynoed 20 hp more tho. I hope when someone says "monitored my A/F with EFILive" they're talking about using a formula and not talkin about commanded A/F. I'll stop babbling now...

so when tuning with headers ( i have some on the way ) do i still look at the fuel trims on the predator and o2 numbers, until i get on the dyno, and just tune it normally? and make sure the pipe wont bang...
K, News Flash. I found out exactly Why my car is Running like crap. My Driver side header is hitting the Floorpan, And maybe the K frame but im not sure. I guess that it's Cause False Knock retard(damn Senstive Sensors) Is there Any Way to Get rid of this... I Bent the Floorpan up alittle... Still hits when im geting on it =(
I need some Help plz =(

ok um, from what i understand if u have that kinda clearance then its prob your motor mounts moving too much. im about to put headers on my car with poly motor mounts and i have 42k on my car and it moves enough to where if ther eis a close fit with headers it would hit...thats about the only thing i can think of that you can do maybe someone else has ideas

i was starting on my motor mounts and then i was pulling the boltout of the center that rubber pos was moving so bad, im glad i decided to get new ones, these dont look like they would do much for me
