help after H/C/I
my car was stock other than CAI and flowmasters. in a month i gathered up some long tubes w/ off road h pipe, gt40p heads, explorer upper and lower and tb, and a timing gear-drive set i thought was quiet
. headers wouldnt fit w/ this slush box auto trans. so i put the stock headers on and of course w/ the p heads i had problems. but working at a muffler shop, i took care of that enough to get by. my ? is what kind of tuning needs to be done after this hci swap? still not feeling a differance like i though i would. im thinking fuel. but im new to F/I so im lost when tuning if it aint a carb. thanks in advance. what kind of power should i be makin with this setup?

i just took it out and the oil pressure is dropping at idle in gear. its in the center in nuetral and at any rpms above 800. then if i put it in gear it just drops and bounces back up. i was afraid you would say to get it tuned. $$$$$$

I believe the auto's had the a9l computers still didn't they? if so you don't really need a tune with that, especially since your keeping the same cam, or so it sounds. I'd guess around 250 whp with the slushbox. If you work at a muffler shop you should be able to make the longtubes work with the trans tho.
