    I only have a narrow band a/f guage. I don't have a cat. I deleted the cat u-bend and resinator. There is 3" pipe there now. Ok I've gotten rich and lean comments. I know I'm running rich because the guage says so and I smell it in the exhaust. I will be putting the stock pulley back on for sure!! And get different plugs also! Would a 3.4 pulley be good? Thank you all for your feedback!!! More would be great!! I'm also putting on an egr delete plate. Would this help too?

    I lol'ed....High EGTS are usually cause by Lean conditions or by Low timing. Which would probobly be the cause on yours. You're probobly seeing a boatload of KR and its killing timing. You dont have crap for mods go to a 3.8 pulley. Narrowband A/F gauge is worthless at Wideopen throttle reading. You also need to get plugs in your proper heat range. I run 103's but I have a decent list of mods Fwiw.

    Further more High Exhaust temps can cause major expensive problems quickly

    OMG,

    A new person that actually listens to others comments when they start off modding incorrectly! Awesome that your taking our advice. There's alot of good knowledgeable people here. Go for some Autolite 104's, EGR delete is ok but your car has to be tuned for it. Take care of that down the road, like if you decide to get headers do it then. Also i meant what i said about that gauge. They really are not accurate at all unless it's a wide-band. Sell it and put the money toward some headers.

    A 3.4 pulley would be good if you have 0* KR. You just need to find someone that can scan your car. If you like gauges look into a Aeroforce. It can scan for KR and other things.

    Only looking at KR as a picture is about as accurate as looking at his narrowband.....I COULD run a 2.7 pulley on my set up with 0 Kr. Id have a 10AFR with 8 degrees timing. Does that mean I should since I have zero Kr?
