Default Speed density tune

So I doing my own head and cam job and have decided to get a speed density tune when I'm done.
My tuner is going to upgrade the PCM to a newer one since I have a 98, so here's the question.
While I have the intake off can I install the 2 bar map sensor and still be able to drive it W/O going into boost enough move the car around and get it on a flatbed?

You can put it in there but like Doug said it will not move very far, but you can tee in to a vaccum line and put your stock sensor in there and leave it plugged in until your tuner switches it over to 2bar then just unplug the stock sensor and plug it into the senosr on the back of the manifold.

I really wouldn't even count on that. Hell, just a h/c job could alter things enough that there is not enough fuel to want to start and actually idle.

The car will run very poorly, so you can limp it onto a flat bed, but it wont run well.
