I had the battery disconnected to reset the cpu. i started the car and I smell unburnt fuel real strong. I read that this is normal without a tune. How long should I take it easy before i can romp on it again?

the smart thing would be to take it east until you get a tune

why do you need to wait? I got bbks long tubes and never waited. I smoked them on the way out.

lets see, if i was smelling unburnt fuel-i dont think i would push the car that hard. just me though-i dont see the logic

I've read that the car will run rich because of the o2 sensors being located farther away plus the dramatic increase in flow that the cpu can't completely learn to compensate for. Just wondering if running rich is as dangerous as running lean.

No, running rich is not as dangerous as running lean. I have a strong smell of unburnt fuel after installing the off road "X"

its probably running a little rich but shouldnt be enough to hurt anything .....

call Tim at modularpowerhouse.com to get a tune for it .....probably get you another 10 or more rwhp

Car just threw a code, P0153 (rich or lean condition). Is it still ok to run the car until I get a tune?
