Default Help with lean issue

I'm going to be ordering soon, currently have a lean issue (no codes). Plugs are white, electrode has signs of ware @ 20,000 miles after the last plug change. I don't have a cooling problem. I think it's from my mods.

Should I order a canned set from you and then custom tune from there ? Is that how it works ? What exactly should I order ?

I'm a little worried about the lean issue. - Just went thru everything on the engine in preparation for tuning. Went with Denso (16's) for the plugs this time and replaced the coils along with many other components that were marginally bad.

Needless to say, It's just about ready and decided to go with PHP to get her running right.

Besides, I heard your looking for #500 - If not me, I'll help getting yuh there.

BTW - I can't find a computer code that's suppose to be inside the passenger side door ?

98 (Build- 07/98) 5.4L 4x4.

The lean condition is most likely from the CAI along with the headers. When you're ready to order your programmer, you'll be needing custom tuning in order to make everything work correctly.

As for the calibration code, there isn't anything you'll be able to provide until you get your Gryphon. The sticker on the PCM is useless if the PCM has been reflashed (and it most likely has been) so the best thing is to take it from the Gryphon display during bootup.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Take care.

Thanks for the quick response, that's what I wanted to hear - that's what I'll do then.
