hello, me again. I do have another problem now, after installing a e303 cam this weekend, the car is really smelling rich now. Ok here is the list of what has been done to this car since I have owned it, if this is normal then let me know.

1. offroad h pipe, no cats
2. ceramic headers.
3. smog equipment delete
4. installed e303 cam

that is all that I can think of at this time that would do this. keep in mind this is a speed density car still. Was wondering if converting to mass air would help or total waste of time. Also sometimes (stumbles) falls on it's face when leaving from dead stop. I'm not a complete retard, but was mainly wondering if I were to switch it,would alot of my symptoms go away.

thanks

I agree with you on that, but was mainly wanting to know if would help to convert it to mass air? To solve any of the other problems

Speed density cars can't run any type of aftermarket cam and run particularly well. It is very advisable to install Mass Air in a speed density car once you get beyond the most basic bolt ons.
