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?

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.
