Have you tried using the SCT to clear the codes? Then you can run the car again and see if they come back...

hah thanks . . and it was not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, dont get me wrong still a pain in the butt but i did the whole thing with jackstand and a floor jack by my self . . it would have gone alot more smooth is i had a second set of hands . . only took me two days * working off and on * if you set all day aside you would be able to get it done . . . one thing tho remove the battery and intake, it makes so much more room to get the top header bolts
