New exhaust, now what?
New exhaust, now what?
Car - 1992 RS 305 TBI A/T
Status - I've just completed putting my SLP 1-3/4 headers on, I removed the cat. and replaced it with a three inch pipe to match up to my Edelbrack cat-back system. I have a K&N filter in the stock housing.
Problem - The car sounds good and seems to run well. It's not registered at this time and as such, limited to short bursts down the street. It seems a little sluggish off the line and pops when the RPM's are up. Sounds like it's running lean.
Question - How do I increase the fuel? Do I have to modify the ECM or can I change injectors? If so, which injectors do I use? Will the ultimate TBI mods help?
Thanks in advance.

1 3/4" headers were the right way to go if you plan on continuously modding the car. You don't want to get a part, then get another to replace it later. Do the ultimate tbi mods, that way you can adjust your fuel pressure, and get yourself an open element air cleaner, or a dual snorkle intake.
Get yourself an LT1 Camshaft, a dual plane intake with a tbi adapter and a set of free flowing heads.
That's whats next

Thanks guys, I'll look into the TBI Mods. I do have a 350 to go in the car. Looking for the right heads to match the cam. Hence the 1-3/4 pipes. I have a plan (and budget) and the exhaust was the logical place to start.
