I was just woundering if what you are saying is that the predetor programer will be able to reprogram the computer for a cam and LT install and that the truck will run just fine?

open headers sound really good lol. I did it with my truck since I've got a little redneck in me. It was fun seein the look on some people's faces. anyways, just make sure you unplug the 02's like bluecajun said. and if you just remove them to run around for a little bit, i'd put the in a plastic baggy, don't leave the 02's just layin around

i would say that i CAN and WILL be able to reprogram just fine with the predator for these light mods....as the cam is a low duration on a 116 LSA....there should be no idle issues.... and i can adjust LTFT's via the injector slope settings....as well as A/FR via the PE adjustments. i emailed wheatley already, but i think my "crappy" handheld will be alright with this cam.

thanks for the concern tho!

I bet 90% of the guys on here that have swapped headers started it up with just to listen to it. I know I did and 9:30 PM and threw a couple of revs at it..... Mainly just to **** off the Speedo wearing, Vtec driving gay-*** next door neighbor what a V8 sounds like compared to his 'Super Fast Honda'

when i did mine i drove it around all day and the next, till i made it to the muffler shop. i have been trying to get it that loud again every since.
nothing beets thats ridiculously, ******* loud noise that is a V8 with open headers.
ahh i just cant bring my self to spend the money on a good set of E-cutouts, for just after the headers. maybe some cutouts from summit, i could just work the wing nuts.
