Andrew,
Don't know if you caught my email but I really feel your problem is in the setting of the ignition pulse. Read the manual concerning this and verify it by locking the timing a 10* and verifing it with a timing light. If I recall Tom had a problem with this when he set up his Haltech and lost the whole show around 4500 rpm. Everything went south. Once he got the distributor and timing pulse correct everything worked great.

Hank,

I am currently using my other e-mail cause once again my other one is down. badl98gta@hotmail.com

Well on another note I have bigger problems now. My headers are glowing at idle, while reving it, all the time! My timing was set at 38 deg when the motor was first started. After I had the haltech installed we rechecked it and it was 38 deg again. Well last week at the track after a run I noticed my headers were glowing. So i shut it off checked the timing and it was at 30! I was very confused. I then checked it on the haltech and it said 38 at 3000 and the dampner said 30 at 3000 so now I am lost. I then changed it mechanicaly to 38 deg by turning the dist. and read the haltech it still says 38. I then lock the timing at 10 deg and the dampner says 13-15 deg I then turn the dist untill it says 10 deg and recheck it again with the timing lock off and it says 10. Then while reving it to 3000 again the haltech says 38 and the dampner says 30-31. And no matter what I do the headers are still glowing no matter what I do. I am about to toss this whole haltech **** in the garbage and go buy an accel dfi and just pay someone to tune it. I am tired of trying diff things and wasting hours and tons of money on the dyno. My last trip was a 3 hour dyno session!!!! and at 150.00 an hour I could have bought a diff unit and had it tuned months ago and been done with it... Sorry for venting I am just tired of it and I might miss another shootout.

Generally there are two things that will make the headers glow. Timing too retarted or too much fuel. In either case the mixture is still burning on the way out and hence the glow. Notice I said generally. The cause may be that the damper has slipped and you are getting erroneous timing readings. I would try advancing it mechanically by ten degrees over what you would consider normal and see if that solves it.
