Can the car run w/out 02's?

Just as the heading says (just unplugged). I thought it could, until it gets warm atleast, but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks,
Benji

It doesn't run bad when it gets warmed up?

you pretty much want to have the o2s on there. you will lose alot of power and most times they run crappy without them. in fact my buddy runs his without one and it leans out realy bad and pops crackles snaps anywere above 4500. i would leave em on.

It doesn't. It runs off tables. But I needed to know this about startup.
