[QUOTE]Weav's Vet;
Could it something on the other end, the exhaust? I had the cutouts closed when I made this WOT run. How about cats? Partially plugged maybe? Headers 1 5/8, maybe 1 3/4 would be better. I mean the air has to get out as fast as it's coming in, right?[/QUOTE]

could be the cats

how old are they

what did you install? (I see longtubes in you sig)


They are high flow bullet type and came with the Stainless Works headers. I guess about a year and a half old. maybe two. When I re installed the OE exhaust system I had them off. I could see through the honey comb inside if I held them up to a light. If I shook them they rattled like the honey comb inside was loose. Is that normal? One of them and I don't remember which looked like it had gotten really hot at some point. The outside casing had a bluish tint to it. All of this was before the head swap. About 3-4 months ago.

Down at the track last year in one of my moments of total stupidity I ran about 3 gallons of 112 octane through them. I was lower on gas than I had thought so I got that to make my runs and make sure I made it home. I guess there might have been 3 gals or less in the tank of 93 octane so it was a 50/50 mix more or less. I ended up replacing the O2's because of the lead and after that and it seemed to run ok so I didn't really question the cats anymore. (Lesson learned!) Now I am though since they are being put to the test here with exhaust flow.
