ok here is the deal I have a 98 camaro the mods I have done are rksport headers, high flow cat, 3.42 gears with lsd, whisper lid, aluminum drive shaft, ported throttle body, jet stage 2 chip, and maft translater, my best time before the headers was 15.13 at 89.09 now that I have the headers on the car the thing runs any where from a 15.3-15.5 at 88. My question is does anyone have any Ideas about what could be going on here should the car be running like this or should it be alot better. I live in florida so its hot most of the time and I did just recently put the headers on the car. I have the comp cam coming fro the grandprix store along with the valve springs and pushrods for a set of heads that I have and a torque conveter. any help would be much appreciated

Have you autotap'd it yet ?
You may need to "fine tune" it more, with the headers, P-n-P TB, and MAFT+. I know that mine runs really rich at WOT after I ported/polished my TB (don't yet have the MAFT+).
An autotap log might go a long way to determining what's going on.associate of <b><i>VENOM VI</i></b><br /><br />2000 WS6 Pewter TransAm M6<br /><b>NOT</b> stock<br /><b>330/346 rwhp/rwtq </b><br />(pre-headers)<br /><br />1998 3.8L V6 Camaro M5 (the Silver Bullet) w/lot\'s of bolt-on\'s<br />-Ryan\'s car now-<br />60\': <b><i>2.165</i></b><br />1/8 run: <b><i>9.494 @ 72.57 mph<br />209rwhp/253rwtq</i></b>

yeah Ive put it on the auto tap and fine tuned it with that, but im thinkin that when I tuned it my o2 sensors where starting to go bad and I had to replace them and I havent had a chance to put it back on the auto tap to see if any thing has changed I have it adjusted at wide open and a Idle with the translater. hope fully thats the prob. cause I just cant see loosing .2 in the 1/4 by putting headers on it.

ok here are the time slips
with out headers with headers
60' 2.161 2.236
330 6.238 6.420
1/8 9.622 9.848
mph 71.64 71.46
1000 12.597 12.832
1/4 15.130 15.364
mph 89.09 89.24
the only thing that maybe I can think of is that the 15.13 pass was in low 50 degree weather and the 15.3 was in about 70 degree weather, and seeing how I live in fL. it doesnt get that cold very often maybe thats what it, or maybe I just lost to much low end torque with the headers. any Ideas are help full.
