Default Paxton Novi 2200 H.O. finally installed

After letting this kit stare at me for almost a year I finally found the time to install it. Everything went smooth, minus some small improvising every thing went together nicely. Seem to be running a lil rich tho at low rpm's is this normal?? Also having some issues with my LT's rubbing the frame and steering column. I hear lower motor mounts will do the trick so I've looked at the modified jdm ones and the upr adjustables, anyone have experience with either??

Thanks in advance for the insight!!

The prothane bullet motor mounts worked to keep my shorties from hitting the steering column.

I am running the Steeda ones, which are also nice. Lowered mine 1/2", but they are adjustable to lower 3/4". I also hear great things about the Prothanes, I think they're what most people go with.

I have prothanes on mine (standard height) no issues at all. I had JDM dyno tune mine since im in NJ also. I do recommend getting the dyno tune though to dial everything in. Did u gap the plugs tight?

No I actually just put everything in as brenspeed sent it but I do want to get a live tune done as suppose to the generic one the kit comes with I was thinking Tillman for the tune tho how was your experience with jdm and where are they
