Default h/c tuning help

i have a 04 gto and i just got done installing some stock 243 heads and a tr224 cam, i already have headers, we (me and my tuner) are using efilive to tune it.
i have a question about high rpm (4000-6000) rpm, it is acting like it is backfiring at hard throttle, but when we look at the logs, we cant see any knock or anything.

also, anyone have similar mods and have a efilive tune that i can look at? thanks!

What does A/F look like when it starts backfiring?

i dont have a wideband hooked up right now to it, but there is no knock, could it be rich backfire?
its real subtle but its def there. also, i replaced the plugs with some tr6's gapped to .35, after reading a lot of post starting to scare me lol, some say rich backfire, some say maybe broken spring.....

Sounds like its lean to me, if your trying to tune it, id highly recomend a wideband so you can accurately control your fueling

were getting it on the dyno sometime this week,
i had a predator tune in it before, never had a problem with it, i pulled it out and at the same time replaced the spark plugs, we havn't touched the fuel maps yet, just for idle right now, which with that we are having a hard time with also lol, but im not sure what parameters the predator touches with its tune....
