Just installed headers… Blinking SES light I just finished installing BBK LT headers and y-pipe on a 2000 LS1 Camaro. The install went fine, headers fit great… no issues there. While I was in there I changed plugs and wires, deleted EGR & AIR and pulled the fuse, changed out the O2 sensors.
Car seems to run fine, I don't notice anything off. It doesn't idle any rougher than it usually does. Rev's smoothly, and sounds good. However, anything over 2000 rpm's and the SES light begins to blink. I expected to see the light on, however, I'm sure blinking isn't OK. Last summer I did an LS6 install, and didn't have any issues. Haven't gone WOT, so I'm not sure if it feels stronger. Checked the plugs wire connections on both ends, as best I could while it was hot, and everything seems in order. I know a tune is in order, its next on the list. Any suggestions?

if you have aftermarket wires, they are not needed. i would recommend MSD wires for the 1 simple fact that they have bendable boots. also i have been running mine in my Trans Am since 2007, and removed them plenty of times with no issues so far

Turned out to be a miss on #8, pulled that plug and re-installed… problem solved. Also, turned out to have a P0200, which as luck would have it… was due to an injector connector not fully seated on #8. Now the car runs great. Thanks for the help!
Also, LT's w/ no cats through SLP dual/dual sounds pretty amazing. Very happy I decided to wait on a cat-back. Thanks again!

Go with MSD wires... less of a PITA to take off. I just finished installing hooker headers and ripped 3 wires. had to use vice grips to remove them off the plug. I had replaced them all with msd street fire wires. no problems as of yet.
