I just bought and installed the Steeda cold air kit (witch looks exactly like my brothers ford racing kit) and after loading the tune the check engine light came on after about 10 mins of driving. I disconected the batt and that got rid of the o2 sensor dtc's, I then uninstalled the tune and reloaded it. The light went away but now the dtc says that B1 and B2 banks 1 and 2 are running lean. How can I fix this?
Running this on a 08 GT, only other mods are flowmaster axle back system.

hey guys this may be kinda confusing, but a while ago i bought a new mac CAI and the check engine light comes on because it recognizes too much air is coming in, so i put the stock intake back on for a while, the engine light went off, then i switched back to the mac CAI and the engine light came on again, i just got a tuner for xmas in order to fix this problem but i have to put the stock tune on the tuner before i do anything so i just recently put the stock intake back on and the check engine light is still on after about 150 miles, should i wait til the light goes off or is it okay to go ahead and use that as the stock tune? it doesnt seem like the latter half is the right thing to do so i figured i'd just come on here and ask

I want to install longtube headers.
Question is this: Can I just run the longtubes, with highflow cats with o2 sensors installed without throwing a code?
Or, can I delete the cats without throwing a code.
Also, I see a lot of guys that delete just the rear o2 sensors, why not delete them all?
Do I need to tune the car either way I go?

I have a 5-speed '06 GT with a Steeda CAI. I've tuned it with the SF3 flash device. One of the options is WOT fuel adjustment. I know that WOT stands for wide open throttle, but not sure what that tune give me? Is it enough to feel the difference? Any advice on this option is appreciated.

I am new to tuners and just bought an SCT SF3. I used it to flash to my 4.10 gears and it worked great, but now I want to go through some other options, like my tire size, and SLP Loudmouths. I also have ram air with AFE filter, but not CAI.
Do I just choose one option at a time, or multiple options and then flash? What happens now that I have flashed for 4.10's and I try to flash for my axel back exhaust?....will it overwrite my previous flash? sorry, just not certain of the sequence, and if I have to select all the options at once, or if it is intelligent and just reads my current setup and builds from there.
