Headers

[GerRrg281]

thinking about getting headers for the mustang before moving out to Michigan for the summer.

SLP long tubes!

anybody have procedures, i know there are a couple ways to do it...and i know there have been write ups posted before, so maybe post those up if you can find one

i know when i got my car tuned, the guy said i had bad O2 sensors, but i dont believe him...car ran great before, and never threw a code. So he said he tuned it to run open loop all the time (just programmed it to stoich, or close to, at the cars current state)...and thats hows its been running, no problems since.

although i think i want to try and get it into closed loop (use the O2 sensors) so i can have better gas milage...but if i do that, i think i'd have to get it re-tuned, and i dont think i want to bring it back to the same guy?...how many tuners are there in the chicagoland area?

actually....im not too concerned about who i bring it to, i have no complaints about my initial tune....just questioning the fact if i have bad O2 sensors....would like to check that out for myself

drop k-member
r and r headers
reinstall k-member

....only part of the process that would suck....drop the K member...i dont know how im giong to be able to do that in my garage...unless i support the rear axle on jack stands along with the cradle, and then lift the body?

hmmmm

and i heard the gains were 15rwhp.....doesnt sound too shabby....eh i'll still have to think about it, would be a big project for the garage...

kurgan for re-tune.

I think Kurgan did the original tune on Greg's car. Kurgan tuned my car and it put down 271/303 with full bolt ons. First run was 254/289. Final run was 271/303. I think he did 5 pulls. I would definitely recommend you take the car back to Kurgan to have it retuned when you do headers. DynotuneMP (sponsor on chicagolandmustang.com) and Sutton HP also do tuning, and I have heard great things about both.

You have cams so I'm sure you would gain more than 15rwhp. Most likely 20-25rwhp.

if i tuned it and i saw that the data showed the 02 was faulty, i would recommend getting new ones.. I DONT SELL THEM NOR DO I MAKE A DIME ON THEM.. this would be a suggestion from me to get better drivability and MPG...
