mils help but they're not the answer. The light will always come back now and then.

If you have a Xcal2 or a Predator you should be able to shut off the rear O2's and that really helps.

So does it hurt to run no cats with the o2 sensors in?? Cause I'm installing an o/r prochamber and i was gonna run it until i could get my SCT!!

you'll almost certainly throw a code pretty quickly and you could end up with a fouled O2 sensor if the ECU tries to correct the situation by adding fuel. I'd wait to slap it on until you get the tuner. Then just shut off the rear O2's wtih the handheld and that'll keep the code from returning.

The rear 02's control nothing but the emissions. The front 02's control the a/f. So no fuel will be added to correct the problem. It has nothing to do with that.

Definitely, when your car is full throttle the emissions isn't factored in anymore, the computer sorta shuts if off.
