That's because your secondary O2s aren't plugged in. What codes are you pulling?

Not sure what your emissions situation is, but if you don't mind your SES light on (Mine has been on ever since I installed these headers, which was in December of 04) plug your secondary O2 sensors into the primary header ports (not electronic connectors). Should idle a little better. As for the lazy tranny, get an aftermarket VB. Mine was lazy as sin from 1-2, after the VB mod, nice and crisp.
