To all those that are running rich and having driveability problems, if you think you can just throw that CA into your engine bay without changing critical sensors, you're already a subject of failures and issues. Those oxygen sensors are old and problem havebeen smacked by other engines during shipping which will result in failure. Make sure they are hooked-up correctly and change them when you get your motorsets.

+1 for that, this should be a sticky. I put a Z32 o2 sensor in mine when i got it, as well as replaced coolant temp and knock sensors while i rebuilt my engine. Just for added insurance that everything was up to par.
