move the wires and stuff ?? What sais its running lean?? I have a header and intake and mine is running rich, and my engine light is on but thats because of a mismatch signal between my one o2 sensor and my o2 sensor simulater which is also the cause of running rich.

if you increase the amount of air flowing through your intake/exhaust with a header, you naturally need to have more fuel injected into the engine to compensate for the increased air. it's possible you need more fuel pressure/larger injectors if your stock setup isn't delivering enough fuel to match the air.
