Trouble code P0420? I just installed LT headers on my LS1 GTO and got the check engine light a couple days later. I do have a DS Predator Tuner and disabled it but what is this code..."P0420" O2's? What code(s) do I delete the O2's behind the headers?

Yeah you will either need o2 sims or you will need to get some one with tuning softwear delete it for you or just live with the check engine light being on.
P0420? Stop hiding the ganja under the hood man! Sorry i had too.. 
But yeah sounds like you just need to find domeone that can turn those codes off for you and youll be fine. Most shops will turn off a couple codes fo ryou for dirt cheap. Dontw aste your $ on O2 sims, it can be better spent elsewhere.

P0420 is a bank 1, post cat 02 code. Not familiar with the GTO predators, mine won't delete any permanently. I'd look up the codes and delete all the 02 post-cat codes it'll let you and see what happens. Maybe the way it's set up it'll delete the others too? Just a guess, but won't hurt to try.
