Need tune after headers I have a 2000 trans am ws6 and I removed stock exhaust and replaced with kooks 1 7/8 long tube headers and SLP loudmouth II exhaust. I deleted the air pump, tubes and egr. Do I need to retune the computer and if so...how and where.
Do you have HP Tuners? There are several things that will need to be updated, or changed, in the tune after the addition of the long tubes. If you have HP Tuners-you can post a copy of your current tune here-and we can show you what changes to make to get you started. Have you done any VE table, or MAF table, tuning before? If not, you may want to farm this out... Otherwise, if you like learning, it's time to jump into some of the most fun you could ever have...

Then learn how to use a program called "Tuner Pro RT" for editing your tune file and then learn how to use another program called "PCM Hammer" to read and write your tune file from and to your PCM. This is free chicken tuning, no money "credits" required . . . all you gotta' do is learn how. Go to the junk yard and buy a PCM harness to hack up and use - then get a small, 12 volt DC, three amp power supply from EBay to power it all. Most of the work here for you will be deleting vehicle security and then turning off those things inside the tune that you have removed so that the Check Engine light won't illuminate.
You Tube has PLENTY of videos explaining all of this and the changes you need to make in your tune are very simple. What PCM model do you have? Is it one with the red connector bar and also a blue connector bar???
