Unless you get coated headers. Get them coated and you won't have any problem. The coating will keep the o2's warm enough to read right. Otherwise, the heat will seap out of the headers making the o2's read leaner than what they should resulting in a rich condition.

I'm running a shift kit with the stock stall, and the trans has over 120K miles on it. A lot of it has to do with the tune.
The guy that was talking about the shift kit . . . . he was just pissed that he was getting beat by an old guy, and that his truck was slow that night

i dont like shiftkits in stock transmissions period. ive had stockers last me 35,000-50,000 miles running low 13's and driving like an idiot 24/7. just add a billet servo and wait for it to blow so you can get a built tranny with a shiftkit. wheatley will tell you the same thing. ive just noticed over the years that people install shiftkits thinking it will make the stocker last longer but it just ends up breaking hard parts instead of burning clutches. ofcorse thats because they install washers and bump line pressure so they can bark tires just letting off the brake idling to speed.

wheately said the servo and shift kit will be alright bc he can tune it so it shift firm and not too hard.. neck breaking shifts kill trannys.. firm shifts are better for the tranny.. i might but i might not get a shift kit.. ill just keep the servo.. i mean will the shift kit help out a whole lot more? i dont kno too much about them?

i just talked to my father inlaw and he know a lil about cars but not that much.. i asked him if i should get the headers or the gears .. he said get the headers bc tuned headers will give u a nice amount of power.(he use to own a 73 camaro with a 350 with some hooker headers)
i told him that if there were two trucks just like mine stock. one has the lts and ory and the other has the locker with 410s that the one with the gears will smoke it. does that sound right?
