Does adding headers mean more custom tunes?

I'll be contacting Bill.
Ah, NOW I see. I NEVER use "title search", mostly because people don't seem to make the title actually relate to the content of their posts. Using advanced search with the string "long tube" limited to "Chips, Tuners....", I came up with this: https://www.f150online.com/forums/se...archid=3630295

Admittedly, there's a lot to go through here, but there are a number of references to long tube headers requiring customized tunes.

I only use advanced title search because it pulls in the desired topic you're researching so you don't have to look at a crap ton of possibly meaningless posts, like in your link.

If you're looking for efficiency advanced title search is perfect. If you settle for mediocrity, well...

Now, now.... You notice MY technique actually "finds" relevant posts.

It WOULD be nice though if people could think up titles that actually related to what they're posting about, instead of brilliant things like "Problem", or "Help", or "I'm Lost",....

I've put obx lt's on mine and my buddies 05 3v.
the set of OBX ive had experience with 01 5.4 2v had 6 bungs, two in the headers, and two infront of the cat, and two after the cat. But yes we had to extend the wires for the front 02 sensors using the supplied harness.

I would retune it but that's just me

The other problem with just using titles is that often threads contain info on some additional subject. An example would be when a thread has a title concerning a code but during the discussion, other codes get brought into the mix. Another example is this thread, where we are now discussing Search.

If you can get the tune modified for a nominal amount, it would be worth it. But to pay full price for new tunes.... like I said, your money, your choice. Let us know Bill's recommendation.

That's why I use advanced title search. I don't have to scroll through some dolt's thread that isn't smart enough to put a relevent title.

That goes for any thread. Advanced searching for a specific title gets you the most specific information without looking through a bunch of hogwash and wasting time.

Nah, that's incorrect as well. Bosch has O2's with the correct harness for LT's. I'm running them.

From what I've read in the past, your only going to be lean @ WOT. I haven't tuned period lol.

Stealth - If you decide to dial in your tune, you might want to run something more stable, like Motorcraft O2's up front. This is why -
