Default Am I safe

I got my car tuned with an unknown vacuum leak last week. Noticed my trap speeds were a little low for what I had done. So did some trouble shooting and found I had a vacuum leak from my intake gasket. Well I fixed it! So am I safe to drive now? Or do I need to wait for my tune over a week away.

I will be eagerly anticipating what the retune results are. Gasket was leaking in cylinder 7 so I assume cylinder 7 was lean.

Your fine...I'd call tuner though, if he's a decent guy he should hook u up bc he should have noticed that vacuum leak while tuning
