Usually after headers you will run lean at least mine did. Not alot but enough to get some knock above 5k.

I ran super rich after LT headers and ran worse. A/F was 10.2:1, put it on a wideband adjusted to correct A/F and gained nearly 35 rwhp sae from my dyno from before the headers. I have never thrown a SES light, but have 02 sims.
