Helps a lil' with some other things to look at. The front o2's are brand new and the rears are fairly new, or so I'm told. I know all those things are "typical" to look for on a stock car, but being that I've done all the usual mods to cause this situation, I think it would be extreme coincidence for one of those things to be the problem. EGR or small vacuum leak possible, but didn't have the problem until the L/T's went on... just food for thought...

Better to run fat then lean at WOT.

The pcm can only compensate for so much.
Yes, that's what I meant by "normal driving conditions". I know WOT either way can be bad and I haven't. It's been driving like normal, just didn't know if there are any long term damages that can occur. Ok, I didn't think the ecu, or pcm, not sure which controls it of if they're one in the same would recognize the injectors either... just curious. My other vehicle has no computer, so troubleshooting all this is new to me. Thanks for the info and keep it coming.
