Default 93 z28 not running right,datamaster log

hey guys, my car hasnt been running right. i have a a stumble/misfire. i just did a longtube install and the car ran great for about a week then started misfiring. i used fastbirds heated 02 harness and bosch 02s. i thought it might be the02s so i replaced them under warranty and the problem didnt go away. i changed the water temp sensor in the pump with no luck. all plugs and wires look good. so i bought a moates ALDL cable and did a scan with datamaster. my left side BPW ms is always yellow and the LTerm, STerm counts go lean when it misfires. is there a way i can share the file and someone help me diagnose the problem? i still havent had the egr tuned out could that be causing the issue?

It sounds like an ignition miss on 1,3,5, or 7

you can post your log by changing the file ext from .uni to .txt

If it ran good before you put headers on. I'm willing to bet it is a little lean. Its able to scavange the exhaust out a little better. And with a NA motor it could be taking the little fuel with it also. When you make more power you need to add more fuel. I would think the computer would make up for it if it was stock, but dont know what you have done to it. If it is modded a little bit headers could little to much for it to make up for. BLMs will only correct for so much....

Trims get pretty lean w\EGR a stumble at throttle tip in is a
classic sign. You have a DTC 26 which is directly related.
Unplug the EGR solinoid that will kill the vaccum to the EGR
and drive it again.
