I am installing American racing headers and Vararam intake. Will the O2 sensors need to be replaced? Will the stock ones work? What tune is necessary? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

o2 sensors are reused (stock)
you will need a tune
See Chuck COW for a tune
You will need it as the O2 sensors won't respond fast enough for the computer to check correctly (it will never pass inspection without a tune)

Nope.....The factory 02s will be fine, but you will need a tune.

Your absolute BEST option is the Chuck CoW AutoCal package....

You'll get a tune that's perfect for your car and with AutoCal we can DATALOG it to perfection!

CLICK HERE FOR AutoCal information!

And if the car is an Automatic, I got you covered!

And don't forget your CoW BOOSTER!

ECS mail order tune will work fine. Tons of happy Corvette owners with basic mods like yours running the ECS mail order tune. Great value for $149.00.
