Message	Intake Exhaust New O2s (and plugs) and Timing light. You adjust timing, Fuel mixture (13:1-ish), and you spend 5 to 10 runs dialing in your fuel. Too many folks around here forget what TUNING means. It does not mean splicing in an AFC and getting 41rwhp. You have to fine tune the mods to the application. So you are probably right, if you want to be lazy about it, its not worth it...
