Default LG header install and 02 sensors conectors where switched...........

So me and my buddy installed the LG headers on my Vette. I was shoring something up and he connected the 02 sensors and finished that up. Come to find out after the car is off the rack, he didn't put them on the right side. My car stuttered a bit and was running rough, but only for a bit. I got it home and didn't drive it. I found out what the problem was and now my question is "Will this hurt my car since I drove like 20-25 miles on it like that"?

I'm gonna jack it up in the morning and switch the connectors to there correct sides........but I just want to know if my car will be alright. The instructions I printed from LS1tech.com said that was a common mistake, so I assume many have done it.

This is pretty common mistake after installing headers because the way the o2s sit in the x-pipe.
Im sure youll be fine

I wish I could.......it snowed the day before I put the headers on and the day of, now everything is melting. So I'm sure you can imagine what the roads look like. All nasty and covered with dirty snow and sand. I wish it would clear up and wash all that crap away, then give me a nice day to go out and get into the go pedal a bit.
