your aftermarket MAF could be causing your change in A/F ratio.

You need to have your PCM tuned. I make over 400 RWHP on a stock MAF. Aftermarket MAFs are a waste of money IMO.

as far as the smoking, if you had CATS on your car before the headers then you wouldnt see any smoke. After taking the CATS off nothing burns off the excess fuel. this may be the smoking you see.
