2001 GT auto
March underdrive pullys
MAC cold air intake
Magnaflow Catback

Well i just got my magnaflow catback installed. Sounds perfect for what i wanted. My question is, with the new catback, and the cold air intake, will my car be running rich/lean, and if so what should i do? Is this going to hurt my engine? How do you reset the computer? Thanks guys.
Also i think my next mod will be some 3.73's, My dam thing cant even do a mean burnout now unless its frezzing outside.

You should be able to do a burnout easily, I could do it when my auto GT was totally stock. I even break the tires loose by accident when its raining! You might be doing it wrong..

Anyway, don't get the dyno tune till you get 3.73s cause you'll need to reprogram for them anyway.

I didn’t mean a power break... anyone can do that. Just flooring it from a stop all I get is a squeak. I want to be able to light them up and look mean if I want. Anyway do you think right now my tuning is really off if I just leave it how it is? I don’t really know any place near me to take it to, nor do I want to waste the money, that’s why I am asking. I need a tune with the gears also? I did not know that, I thought the only thing that would effect was the Speedo which I don’t care about.

i don't think you should get a tune at all. you haven't done anything that would be worth spending all the money to get a tune. you should wait until you get a few more mods that will give you some good gains then get a tune in my opinion. would suck to get a tune then get like cams or something then need another tune.

get the 3.73's (and) midpipe if you plan on it before getting the tune.. then the tune can fix your speedometer and turn off rear 02's.

If you want to break the tires loose get a converter. You will need a chip if you get a converter or gears, the gears will effect your speedo and shift points. You reset the computer by disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery for about ten minutes. You wont need a dyno tune until you do a lot more mods.
