the tuners price includes timing ane setting fuel pressure correctly so if any of that caused it it wont cost me any more.

IIRC the orange headers (as in obviously heating up) was from running rich or lean, like extremely, not sure which, the tune should fix it

My header glowing was from the timing being off when my balancer decided to spin on itself. I had pulled the dizzy out and put it back it again later not knowing the balancer was shot. So it was while the exhuast valve was starting to open, hense glowing headers . It took me a little while to get it right but I eventually got the dizzy stabbed on the right tooth to get them to stop glowing and the motor to run smooth.
