Default Guestions for ya's

What is the normal oil psi?

Mine has been over 40 tonight it was close to whatever the max number is. Not sure if the high volume pump has anything to do with that.

I have noticed tonight that where my headers go into the single pipe they are glowing red. I believe this is a symptom of running lean. Am I right? My wideband does show lean at times but not constantly. Could this be due to the old stale gas I'm running? I've been driving it back and forth to work to use as much as possible so I can get good gas in there tomorrow for Friday's inspection.

Thanks for any input

my cheap headers glowed the first time or two that I ran the truck after installing them.

30-80 PSI is normal.

then the lean deal sounds right. check your upstream o2 sensor voltage. or does the wide band show that? if anything i bet the stale gas wouldn't burn as good as fresh gas. unless it is still burning when it enters the pipes.
