I want to install Melroase headers on my 02 and read the following on the Melrose headers website:

"I have heard I shouldn't dyno my C-6 directly after header install?

This is true. When the battery is disconnected the vehicle loses it's memory. The car should be driven at least 88 miles with 15 starts and stops. If the battery was not disconnected during install, disconnect it before this process. This will clear the fuel trims and allow th ecar to learn faster."


Now, would this apply to a my C5 as well? Should I drive the car around awhile before I get it tuned? I got a reasonable qoute from Straightline Performance in New Lennox, IL and was planning on having them install the headers for me. I would need to drive about 60 miles to their shop and would prefer not to have to go there twice. Thanks in advance for the info.

Yes---drive it about 50-75 miles all sort of different ways---LT's most always make the WOT fuel rich anyways so it should be safe--But i still wouldn't run it hard too much--And letting the exhaust settle in a little will allow any exh. leaks to rear their ugly head-Always Fix those 1st before tuning as well or you will get incorrect data via the data logger--

Not necessary to drive it any distance at all prior to having it tuned.
