Default Can car be driven after head swap
The tuner is a 30 min drive away. car is already tuned for the headers and cam. If i pit heads on can i drive it to the tuner?

Curious who you're using. I'm just 30 mins south of you and possibly looking for a tuner.

I've driven mine after the ported 243's and headers without tuning for 6 months. It probably runs a bit rich and I'm probably a few hp down but it's been OK.

Lean not rich, but really only at WOT. Light throttle probably still a good mix.
