New header gaskets breaking in?

How long do the new header gaskets smoke after installation? I just installed new pacesetter LT headers, and i used header wrap to wrap them. I was just wondering when i can expect them to stop smoking so i can drive this thing on the street. Thanks

Probably once it burns off any residule oils or anything that was on them when they shipped out from the manufacturer. Which shouldnt take too long..
