    Red Hot Exhaust

    I have a 418 stoker and was running fine until a friend did a tune on it and now it runs rough and headers get glowing red hot?
    Can someone give me some ideas of what went wrong or what could be causing this issues. Thanks

    Probably too much idle air causing the timing to retard to bring desired idle down .....

    Yup. Need more timing. Or less air. Or both.
    Post a log and tune if you want help
