i feel wierd, cause i didnt have a foot factor! actually i was the opposite! I put my true duals on at the same time as my LT's and i was so afraid of being pulled over that I kept my foot out of it for the first few days (save one 130 mph test run on the first night... for quality management only 
) and then eventually became more and more used to it...

I've never heard of that driving cycle. I obviously knew that the computer needs to relearn things a bit, but didn't know of an actual method to do it.
If I've had the headers on the car for a week and done some partial throttle, regular cruising, and WOT runs, would that cycle still help me?
