Default Tuned

Had my 02 dynoed and tuned today, was somewhat happy,I thought I would have made more rwhp,but thats the way it is,he also tried to tune the nasty firecracking poping that happens when I back off suddenly on the fuel,got some of it out.He told me could be the location of the O2 sensors,reading it lean,then dumping fuel in.If I hold the pedal steady for a split second then back out of it,it is not near as bad. Oh well, I have 338 to the wheels,after the tune, and 326 before.
Its all good,better throttle reponse and winds a lot quicker,and turned the fans on sooner. Nothing special to report, thanks for reading tho.

Thanks Al

Try adding an X-pipe. My '00 had resonance and popping with the B&B Route 66 exhaust and when I installed an x-pipe, that cured better than 95% of those problems.

From what I have read the reason the C5 exhaust sounds the way it does is because of the fireing order.
