Default Running Rich?

Just Recently Got my swap on the road, and its now running rich.
99-02 LS1 with the truck MAF(Computer twas tuned) and ebay intake. Other than that its bone stock. Any common issues with these?

Might want to get it on a dyno and see where it is at. Does it have any SES lights? Does the car have cats? If not you might just be smelling the raw exhaust. However, if you are pretty sure it is running rich and there aren't any codes, it needs to be retuned.

It has 2 rich codes(1 per bank) It does not have cats, but blows black smoke out the tailpipes.
I put the O2s behind basically brand new ceramicoated headers, could this be a problem?

What are the codes? If it has an O2 code it is more than likely the problem. Go to Autozone if you don't have a scanner and they will scan it for you.

What's the 2nd code? I assume they weren't the same for bank one and two. You might check for a vacuum leak. That could be causing the problem.
