Does adding headers mean more custom tunes?

From Bill at PHP concerning my question about a tune tweak for long tube headers with high flow cats...
I'll keep it safe and get some custom tune tweaking done.
Now I just need to buy the headers and install them, after the tweaked tunes are uploaded to the my Edge, that is.
Long-Tube Headers historically will cause a slightly lean condition due to the improved scavenging of the cylinders and subsequent (small) rise in volumentric efficiency. Looking at your existing tunes I really don't think there would be a problem, but considering that you're combined with high flow cats you might want to go ahead and have some minor tweaking done on the files just to keep things safe.

Yeah, I know. I'd order them and have them sitting on my computer before I install the headers.
This whole LT header idea is a 'just to be sure' kind of thing. I may not even get the headers, but if I do I wanted to know what I'd need to get done if I did get them.
May help others as well.

I knew that from another post a while back. I was just having fun in my usual twisted manner. Congratulations though, to her and to you. It's pretty neat when we finally "launch them" from the nest. 
Glad you finally got a "real" answer from Bill.

That's how I look at it too, flying from the nest to their own. Their nest is only a block away though. 
Yeah, Bill is the man, and I can't say enough good things about PHP.

But I also wanted to know "when" a lean condition would exist = (RPM,TPS, MAF blah blah). The 2 valve is different from yours, - mine would be lean @ WOT. The 3 valve has a different calibration of course, seems to be more critical from what I gather.
Your doing the right thing IMO.
