Default O2 Questions??

I got the car dynoed today and it pulled 310rwhp on the motor. 99 Z28 M6 It has Mac headers, lid, Offroad and Hooker Catback with the stock 3.42 gears. It seems to be running really rich in the upper Rpm's and blew black smoke from 4500 to 6000 on the dyno. Wouldn't a bad O2 set a code??? The back of my bumper cover also has black soot near the exhaust pipes. The car did not smoke before I installed the headers. Anyone seen a similar problem (Very Rich mixture)??? Suggestions??
