Can Headers and Ram Air make a car lean out?

Since more air is being rushed in and there is more room for intake air since more exhaust gasses wil be escaping because of the headers. If so is an AFPR in order? Do you think it should on my sig below. I just had headers put on and haven't noticed as much of a difference. The ramair and pulleys seemed to be a bigger increase but everyone talks that headers are one of the best mods...

I don't know if it will acctually lean a car out, but it will force more air in the engine, so an AFPR is a good idea.
