You are going to have to get a tune...or just live with it. And as cheap as gas is right now....I would run the highest rating you have available. Here we have 93.

If you get a tune, look at StageFP. Bob is the best around. Also let him know the highest octane you will be running.

And in my opinion...I would leave the secondaries. That's what I did. There isn't a lot of power that comes from removing them, and you will also get more of a smell in your car.

At the least....install the headers and leave the secondaries. I have heard of some people doing this without a tune and not getting a CEL....but it's rare.

You will need to install the o2 sensors into your aftermarket headers anyway.

And without a tune to tie it all together, you are leaving at least 1/2 of your gains on the table.
