Default Headers vs air/fuel ratio

Finally got the time and some decent weather to do a widebandO2 run with my new headers. I was a little suprised at the results. A/F at idle went from 13.75 to 14.5. Part throttle leaned down also from 13.5 to 14.5. WOT got richer from 12.75 to 12.25. I guess the data says the headers did the most good thru the mid range even though I feel more power across the board. The thing that suprised me the most is now I,m running out of injector size(still stock). Right at 5600 rpm's in each gear a/f spikes from 12.25 to 15. When I have more time I need to comfirm this on atap by checking the injectors pulse rate.

Ok, did an atap log today and it looks like what I saw on the widebandO2 is correct. The stock injectors are maxed out by 5600 rpm's. Guess some 42lbr's are the answer now.
