those meters run off the PCM 02 signal right? well, alot of the time when you do LT headers the O2s are set further downstream in the exhaust system. This would mean if your O2s are lazy then your A/F meter won't be registering properly either. Does it not work at all or does it just hop around all stupid like? If it still works, how bout at idle, part throttle, WOT?

that's weird. I have two air fuel ratio meters (one for each side) and they work just fine with my PaceSetter headers.

no right now its not reading anything, there is power to the gauge, but it stays on the green light all the way at the end and does not move

The sending wire probably became disconnected somehow when moving around the O2 sensors. My gauge works great with the Pacesetters
