Just installed LTs w/ ory... It's been about 2 weeks since the install and the car has always ran like a top. But Wed. at one point when I was sitting in traffic, I noticed the car was ideling ROUGH... and when I went to step on the gas it acted like it was going to cut out. I had to feather the clutch just to keep it running.

The car normaly idles between 790-820, Ive noticed sometimes when this problem is going on it dips as low at 550. It doesnt always idle low when it happens, It did it quite a bit yesterday, mainly when them temp. is within the first quarter marks on the guage.

I know you should get the car tuned when you delete cats, and remove EGR, is this basicaly whats going on? Couple of friends who rode with me thought they felt it was running rich?

Getting it tuned should clear it up.

How are the plugs and wires?

plugs are brand new... Well, I say brand new but i installed new ones after i put a bottle in the trunk. They *MIGHT* have 7,000 miles on them. Wires are stock but they appear to be in solid condition.

No matter what you will want to get it tuned, ive got LT's, ORY and stock tune and i get horrible gas mileage, its stumbles once in a great while but its getting a tune real soon.

The car has aleady had a professional tune, shouldn't be an issue getting a "touch up".

If anyone has a comnplaint after LT's and ORYs,it's always "rough idle or bad MPG".IMHO if it ran good before it should also run good after-mine did.If it ran good after and starts running like crap, I'm thinking something came loose.I haven't got a tune yet and it runs magnificent-I could not be happier.But I will get a tune some day,for sure.
If it ran like crap as soon as your done, I would suspect something not hooked up right.
As for gas mileage,there is no way in hell to tell if LT+ORY had any effect at all on MPG without filling up,getting on the highway for 100-150 miles and getting off ,fill up again and check mileage-end of story,thats it!No one, and I mean NO ONE, drives their new modded car the same around town with new LT's+ORY than before!!!We all got our foot in it worse than ever,enjoying the new sound and power so MPG goes to HELL!!!
I knew my highway mileage before mods and always check after.Good news is,I picked up about 1.5MPG with the LT+ORY and am very happy with that BUT,damnit,I can't keep my foot off it around town LOL! So i guess my mileage went down! But if I go on a trip,I'm Gold!
This is all my opinion, I'm not a tuner. This is just my experiance with LT's+ORY.
