It's most likely tune related. I almost took my car to the track and found out my AFR was 14.5. Pretty sketchy if you ask me. I went to Tony Lawshee and he corrected the tune and I was able to pick up more power and get to 12.8AFR

Yep, I just looked at it again. ~11.8 it was. Tony wouldn't even do a full pull on the baseline he was so terrified.

Did you have other mods at the time? This makes no sense to me.

Just a EC tune. Why doesnt it make any sense? You get more airflow through the exhaust and the engine will go lean. Anybody thats says 4 cats is not a restriction is kidding themselves.

I now have a retune while I build my headers which is to rich. Once the headers go on it should be in the ball park.

Because it doesn't.. If I pull my cats on a stock car and straight pipe them or put on headers without cats as many have done everything else remaining stock tune included. You're saying the car will go dangerously lean? No.
