Default Any probs waiting to tune w/ my mods

Just had Kooks Headers, Kooks X-pipe, and Corsa Sport installed this week. Installed 160 stat, ported TB, Venom CAI this weekend. Was supposed to have the FAST intake installed but it is cracked and needs to send back. Tune was scheduled for Tues, 2 hours away in Tempe. Want to wait now to get FAST intake back and installed before tune.

This is is a daily driver. Does anyone see any problems of driving with these mods for a little while until I can get the FAST intake installed to tune?

I think you should be fine as long as you drive it in a respectful manner and stay off the gas pedal. Just drive as you would if you where 90 years old. If anything, you may see a code come up regarding temp.

I installed Kooks long tubes, High flow CATS, Corsa Sport axle back with BPP's CAI and drove for approximately 900 miles before I had my 06 LS2 tuned. Never pulled any codes or experienced any problems. The ECM will learn and adjust many parameters without a tune. Just be reasonable with your driving and you will not have any problems. Your ported TB contributes to throttle response and should not make a big difference (lean or rich). I also have the ported 92MM FAST and VMAX Ported TB. I tuned my Vette at the track using HP Tuners after adding the FAST and Ported TB. Adding the FAST drove my tune a bit lean and had to pull timing to avoid KR. You should be fine.

Your fuel trims will be way off (possibly setting a code) and the headers may set a code for the rear o2 sensors. Technically your ETC (electronic throttle control) scalar value will be out the window from the ported TB and the car won't care about the 160 stat. If the car runs fine and you "stay out of it" until you get the tune complete you should be ok IMHO.
