What was the "final thought" on the 03's stall fix?

If the roads are clogged, yes. Maybe I need to explain. I live about 5 miles from the "parkway". I head out 2 miles north and it looks like this:

Yup. See my theory is that Cobras don't stall on long straightaways in the middle of nowhere. Call me crazy, but it's true. :D

Well, it has its drawbacks too. I've got a lot of bunny fur to pick out of the radiator fins this weekend. :nonono:

Go get the flash done. If you don't like it, get a custom tune. That's my recommendation. :beer:

This is dirt bike central. All my neighbors have bikes. Hell, all my neighbors have boats, ORV's, jetskis, etc. It's one giant playground out here. 10 minutes north and you're at the lake. 10 minutes west and you're in coyoteland. :beer:

Yes. Run the car at night. If your cats glow reddish-blue, you've got a problem. Clogged cats are pretty serious. Unless you're getting a real loss in performance I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The other tell tale sign is blue discoloration on the cats themselves. Orangish brown is OK.

By "run the car" do you mean run it hard, or let it sit?

Run it normally. It's not "common" on the '03's but early first run versions of the ECU program had some blowouts because they were running too rich up top. Oh, and your cats may be mega stinky driving normally.

for the record.. i just got the stall fix last week. my car hasn't stalled since, albeit i haven't run it that much.

one thing i've noticed is on start-up i'm getting more smoke. seems like my cars even richer now...

Ok, Im getting the stall flash done tomorrow...
Is there any reason to take my mods off? Would my mods have any effect on the flash at all? (my dealer is pretty mod-friendly).

Depends on your mods. If you just did a CB and CAI/intake, you should be fine.
