Just finished up today installing the following:
Kooks Stepped Headers
Kooks Catted Y-pipe
GMMG
Lucas 009 42lb injectors
PCMforless tune
NGK TR6 plugs
I also removed the AIR & EGR system since I ordered non-emission headers but now I am not 100% sure I have all the vacuum lines hooked up right. Bear with me and I will explain how I hooked them up.....
1) Optispark vents - 1 is going to the vortech intake tube just behind the MAF, the other is ran up to the driver side of the intake by the PCV. I don't think there is too much of an issue here other than I don't have the factory restrictor in place (check on that monday at the dealership).
2) Vortech Bypass Valve - I have it hooked up to the other small vacuum port of the driver side intake next to the PCV also.
I wonder about the the bypass valve since it feels like it takes a second or two after you let off the gas while your cruising for the idle to come back down, almost like the blower is still pressurizing the intake (overrun??)
It runs like a raped ape now though:D - I did have stock injectors, FMU, BBK shorties, gutted stock cats, a Flowmaster American Thunder system (P.O. choice) and no computer work done.
Just wondering if you guys have any tips or suggestions on the hose routings..... TIA
