JUST ORDERED TSP 2" HEADERS. WILL A TUNE BE NEEDED?
Hey guys, I just ordered the headers and can't wait to get them installed. I will be going catless straight to the stock suitcase. My car is completely stock, otherwise. If the tune is needed, I am wondering if I should install a wideband to dial in the afr? - it is running pig rich but strong. I thank you all in advance for your thoughts.

Can I weld the bung on the collector or does it need to be a little farther back? So, you think I need to mess with the afr right now?

Tune required for any headers.

Tune is required for sure. Might want to add something to go with that to make the price of tuning worth it.

Tuning a car, especially a torque-based ECM, is a lot more than just AFR. Adjusting virtual torque, torque limits, and of course your MAF table too. Agreed. Great time to add a 95mm TB, maybe add E too. If you’re paying for tuning and/or dyno time, might as well make it worthwhile.

Just to be clear, I can place the wideband sensor on the collector of the header? TSP told me it needs to be about 6" farther down stream.

I have a 103mm NW tb I would like to use, but don't know if it would work on a stock blower (blower was supposed to get ported). I also have a 14% ATI pulley. Could I use it also on a non-ported blower? |

If you want to run the 103mm TB either send it out to Kong for porting (or buy a Whipple/Maggie lol). The stock unported blower will heatsoak even worse with the 14% pulley IMO.

Yes your ZL1 will need a tune!

You not only need a tune, you must have a tune. Driving a supercharged car with headers and no tune can cause engine damage.
