Default LG headers are in. idle speed question

LG headers are installed, Honker CAI, flowmaster mufflers.

All is well .. no codes after its "spirited test drive".

Sound is all it shoudl be .. But my idle speed has dropped from 750ish ... to 500 or 400ish at times.....

Now i know ill be needing a good tune. But that will have to wait til i can afford to take it to MTI here in Atlanta. I might even wait til i have heads and a cam installed.

I jsut wondered if the RPM at idle has dropped. Ill definately get some sound clips for everyone..

Oh and so everyone knows .. right at about 5-6 hours max with no lift... 2 people.

hardest part was having to make the O2 sensors work .. both rear sensors broke while trying to remove... so i rewired the fronts.

Rindaen now has to get a set so we can install his...
neighbors are gonna hate me at 5am rolling through in the mornings.

The idle change could be a result of fuel trim relearn, or your O2s may not be getting hot enough to switch and/or enter Closed Loop.
