I had this problem on a fuel injected small block Ford, using 42 lb/hr fuel injectors and a ProM mass flow meter. Contarary to what I have always been told, it was running extreamly rich on the drivers side, it was passing fuel into the exhaust where it would continue to burn, and light up the header. The cure was a mass air meter re cal. Usually, a glowing header can be caused by a lean condition, but in some cases, just the oppsite is true.
