Angry Help!!! I keep burning O2 sensors!!

i dont know whats wrong, it all started after I put my headers in right after the first tune. My car has Off road headers and Y, and a tune, Im running the corvette 02's (13111's) I just burned up my second pair coming back from the track...i had my timing upped to 24* and my AF is a 13.1 I think. What could be causing this? bad tune?

Default Bad Tune?

Your af is perfect your car is only at 23 timing and I picked it up over twenty to the tires. Your o2 were burnt up when you got here. You may need to look at something other than a tune. I dont even know how you could burn up o2s on a bad tune! Call me with any questions.

yeah, my first thought was my A/F was messed up, but i looked at the chart and it seemed fine, i pulled the o2's and guess what? the 13111's we orderd were not 13111's. some how advanced auto mixed up the wrong sensors in the right box...
