i believe the code read P0 0430 catalyst...(cant remember what it said here)... bank 2 (SES)

what does this code mean?

-thnx

Nope, that's a catalyst inefficiency code. If you are catless you'll get this code, also maybe with headers. If your car is stock up to the cats it's possible that one of them is bad.

how about driving/racing the car when its to could this possibly throw the code?
-thnx 4 ur help

Not likely. The catalyst efficiency is only checked during steady throttle driving after the engine is warmed up (i.e. highway driving). If you're beating on it or the engine is cold it's in open loop and the ECU isn't looking at the 02 sensors.

i have a cam, on stock manifolds, do you think it might have been a fluke? i cleared the code with hptuners and it has not come back.
