Like everyone said, YOU NEED A TUNE!! A tune will fix you power problems and fix the check engine light with no cats.

TUNE!

not TUNE UP. TUNE UP is new plugs n wires. TUNE is reprogramming the PCM to operate according to the requirements of your cam.
I have that same cam in my 5.3 ECSB on 20"s and you can definitely tell a difference in power.
Your AFR should be 14.8 in cruise and 12.8 at WOT

You can get o2 simulators. but you need a tune anyway for your cam so just have the tuner shut off the o2's

no need for the simulators, a simple tune will get rid of it..

get a costume reprogramming tune for your motor.if they don't have a place their we have a lot of people here that do mail orders,you call them and tell them what you have
and they can make you a tune and send you a pcm and you send them yours back.
