See mods in sig. Even though I got my computer reprogrammed the car still run slighty lean at times and has "flat spots" throughout the RPM range. I was wanting to know first how I could correct this and secondly if headers would make my problem worse (I'm assuming it would). Anybody else experience this??? Do I need bigger injecters? Fuel pressure regulator??

Yes, headers will lean your car out more.....
for a quick fix you can get a MAFT and dial it in both at base and WOT....
Also check injector pulse and O2 Readings at WOT
I am sure there is more you can do but thats off the top of my head....Eric

I just don't want to burn a valve. Supposing I check injector pulse and O2 Readings at WOT and it is running leaner wiht the headers what can I do? How do people with free flowing intake and exhaust mods make their car run right??1993 Pontiac Firebird 3.4L V6 A4<br />F41 RPO suspension option<br />119K miles<br />Fastchip<br />K&N \"Filtercharged\"<br />Airbox cuttout CAI<br />ASP underdrive pulleys<br />Pacesetter Headers<br />Flowmaster 80 Series 2.75 cat-back<br />MangaFlow Hi-Flow Cat<br />Corvette Servo<br />16.4 @ 81 MPH

You can try to reset the PCM...It might learn but dont count on it.Eric

I tried it a few weeks ago and love it. made a huge difference in the car. my post about it.95 Firebird<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/673250\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/673250</a> <br /> <a href=\"http://photobucket.com/albums/y217/andrewbrandon19/\" target=\"_blank\">http://photobucket.com/albums/y217/andrewbrandon19/</a> <br /><br />me on a good day------> <a href=\"http://communicatio.webblogg.se/images/wet_cat_113159625.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">linky</a>
