  • car out of tune?

    I have a 97 Camaro 3.8 My mods are SLP CAI and a Flowmaster catback. When I first put on the SLP, I noticed the power increase. However, I also noticed my car idling a bit rougher. I have been thinking that maybe the car is getting too much air and not enough fuel and spark. I also run 91 octane. Is it possible I'm getting too much air and running too high of an octane to produce the best possible combustion with my setup? I was thinking of maybe going down to 89 octane and see if that helps at all. Also was thinking of changing out the stock wires (90k miles) for some Taylor 8 mm.

              The car is properly maintained...........................I was asking a specific question regarding the relationship between air intake, spark, and fuel. My car has no SES light, it is properly maintained. Please don't respond anymore, you are no help.
