Relocated 6 oxygen sensors. 3 per side.

Basically it used to be from header to y pipe
OEM narrow 1, oem narrow 2, haltech wideband

Now it is
haltech wideband, oem narrow 1 oem narrow 2

Did not have to extend either harness to get the oem uppers down to the bottom. Reason being is that during my wiretuck i separated the o2 wires as is everything else. The driver side 02 used to wrap around the front of the engine now does around back. Passenger side was long to begin with.

Another plus was that the haltech wires were long enough to exit the oem shifter area ( where i had them installed before) and reach the upper locations. This was great since i did not have to rewire them. I can calibrate my haltech from inside the car which is nice. Keeps it out of my engine bay.

Did all this without removing a single exhaust pipe, steering shaft, upper plenum or anything. Used O2 wrench from advance and a swivel head ratchet. Couple of scratches but im ok.

oh ok. from what i had read a lot in the drag section, its good to do just a 2-3 second burnout on street tires to knock off debri and get them a little warm. but it is a no-no to sit there for 6-10 seconds lighting them up like you would slicks, etc..

Well other drag vets can chime in but typically when I burnt out on streets It would make my tires break loose easier

That's pretty sweet B. Me and some friends usually visit Rockingham a few times every summer. I hope to see what quarter I can get after my FI is complete here in a few months.

Good point. That was my question too. The exhaust was 3" from the beginning going to 2 end mufflers with 2.5" tubing. We changed the end part after installing the longtubes to free the gases more but we kept it 2.5" i.d at the muffler for noise(not that it made the huge difference). The exhaust has no other muffler(middle) and we are still guestimating. I am open to opinions guys before going for final re-tune
