Odd Question
Hey guys I just installed my 1 7/8 kooks headers and 3" catless Y. And The service light came on and I forgot to hook the o2 sims up lol oops rookie mistake... However it flys from idle to about 4200......... from 4200 to red line kinda almost like I floats off. Is it cause I don't have the simulators in yet or what is the deal the cars completely stock besides the headers and Y. Thanks for any input

The rear o2 sensors only ensure the cats are working properly. They should not hinder your performance in any way. Have the code read and make sure its not something else. If its not performing up to snuff there is something else going on.

I have heard that with LTs your mixture tends to lean out a the cylinders are scavenged way better. You need a bit of tuning.

went to my buddys shop threw in the sims and code is gone..... maybe its all in my head but it feels stronger to red line. Damn a tune with just Lt's and Y pipe that sucks. I talked to one shop around the schaumburg area that said its probably not nesscary hmm...... Going to the track sunday guess well see. It smells like its running extremely rich. Oh well i'll find out.. Thanks guys

Yeah you dont NEED a tune but you'll definitely benefit from it. You can do a PCM tune (about $125) to straiten somethings out but a dyno tune ($300) is ideal. Plus you get to see how much HP and TQ you make. That way you can see what kind of gains you made after you do more major mods.

If you want your car to run correctly, you DO need a tune!
