Default Its finished!

Well it took me long enough, but my heads/cam swap is finished. Fired her up about a half hour ago, everything was running good, good oil pressure and sounds good. Im still running stock exhaust manifolds and I noticed that after the had been running for alittle bit the drivers side cat and piping were glowing oragne....

Orange usually means rich. Lots of fuel. Careful it could catch on fire

^I would assume that if you increased the flow of air in and out of the cylinder and didn't raise the amount of fuel to coincide with the new, increased amount of air the mixture would be lean.
