What do you think could make my HC's so high (they were between 2900 and 3000 at idle but around 300 at 2500rpm) I have new o2 sensors and everything i have used so far has been "emissions legal" I am moving to dallas in september and i need to pass the sniffer (they do the cali dyno test now).Would me taking my cats off make this huge of a difference?
Yes, you would be suprised. I tried runnin' mine through one year just to see what it would do. Failed miserably. The cats make a huge difference as far as emissions are concerned.

LOL, saw your post on SN w/ no responses.

no it idles between 600 and 700

I have the norgskog digital gauges, and the tach only reads in 100 increments, that seems to be the only downfall of the gauges other than that it gives precise readings of everything else...

another off topic question i have is how would i go about getting my car tuned?

Is there a decently priced way to do this being that i have spent over 2200 in two days to finally get some decent power in my car.
