Default My LT1 is loading up

I think its because i just have the O2s in a pipe and the pipes are just tacked on and i think they are leaking before the O2s. But i was wondering if the injectors are too big. I have 30# injectors a cam and bolt ons and a mail order tune. any help or opinions would be appreciated.

What do you mean by loading up? Is the car reving itself up? I think if you gave a little better description of whats going on you will get an answer.

Like you said, an exhaust leak before the o2's would make them inaccurate.

If your car is mail-order tuned for the 30# injectors, then that shouldn't be a problem. Might be off a little but nothing bad.
