Ok, so I hooked up my A/F gauge, at idle my car is just at lean/stoich. and when I rev it up it gets a bit leaner, the only time it gets into stoich is when I shut it off. Granted I am running almost straight headers, I was wondering if it will richen up as the car warms up or what, I just started my car last week, new engine DSS probullet, etc. I'm worried about leaning out and messing the sucker up. btw, what I mean by almost straight headers is that I have a X-pipe i'm hooking up, but the tubes that go from the header to the x- are too long, so I'm just running those pipes turned out, like a side exit. I dunno, maybe I need to close the gap on my plugs a bit. is this a normal situation or what?

please help!

if you dont have a wideband set up, you are not gonna get any accurate info. certainly not enough to tune by, or be worried if it reads funny.
