You are running way too rich and not enough timing. Glowing headers is caused by fuel burning in the exhaust.

what ems are you running? i know that my stang sees as much as 40* total timing while just crusing...and thats the factory tune. i havent modified the midrange, just wot and idle. just because your running small injectors doesnt mean it can run rich while cruising if its not tuned right.

I'm not suggesting this has anything to do with your problem but, is this the ebay kit?

Just wondering about the quality...for the price I'm about to say f@k it and scoop one up.
