Question Running Rich a week after a tune... please look

Ok guys a got a great tune at Conleys Performance Plus in Humble TX. Before i was throwing out P0172 and P0175 codes (basically running rich on both banks) along with other ones...

A week after my tune the SES pops up. So i go to Auto Zone and they pull up the same codes AGAIN. So WTF? do i have bad O2's or what? I know irs not the tune, i hope. I replaced the driver side O2 before the tune... I've heard that a bad cat would do that. well my driver side cat is hollowed out cuz of my LT's ( they hit anything over 4 in's). so ANY ideas or suggestions? I have a 2000 SS m6. cam, intake, full exh w/ LT...

Should I get O2 sim's since i have a bad cat??

Thanks in advanced...

Jerry

when a tuner tunes your car the reset everything.. and it takes a while for things to re-learn themselves. sometimes it may take several days or a week for it to relearn based on driving habits and driving.

have you replaced BOTH 02's? and do those codes involve the front 02's or the rear?

rear. i thought the point of the tune was to tell the car what it needs to learn so it wont do what it's doing now?

those codes you mentioned usually turn out to be mechanical issues with the vehicle rather then in the tune.
