Just as the title states, if a car was tuned for pulley n shorti headers, but later on got LT's is it really going to have that much of an impact that it could damage something?


Thanks

Yes, significant improvements in flow on the exhaust side can cause a lean condition. Whether or not it is detrimental on our engines w/o a tune is something I'll let someone else answer. If you've done long tubes, why not go ahead and round out your mods with a pulley and tune?
