Default Tuning Question

Just read a post that got me to thinking. Right now I'm in the process of installing Andy's P1SC custom kit. I'll be finishing up in the next day or so, then I plan on driving up to Xtreme for tuning. Xtreme's 3 hrs away. Can I drive my car that far without a tune? Don't want to tear it up. Any help is greatly appreciated. Jon :cheers:

keep the stock injectors in untill you get to the tuner and stay out of boost....just drive it like a baby and you should have no problems :thumbs:

I think the other thing you could do (besides what was mentioned above) is to remove the ATI anti-surge valve from the plumbing until you get there. That will make sure you never build any boost and all of the air from the blower just goes into ambient. Under the stock tune with the stock injectors that should make your car driveable without concern over building boost.

If you've already run the signal line from your brake booster to the valve, you should cap off the signal line somehow. It will be in vacuum quite a lot and you don't want it sucking up any dirt.
