I've seen people order basemaps for there car and it not even start. What you are doing basically is taking a random tune and putting it on your car and hoping it doesn't go wrong.

I would take the extra time to drive/tow to a tuner. Better to get someone to tune your car to your exact setup rather getting a tune thats not for your exact setup and hoping it makes it for a "awhile".

Sometimes it will work for you. However, taking it to a tuner is probably your best bet. There are also tuners that will do remote tunes if you live far away. Where do you live?

Basemap is just that its a base to start off. dont drive it around, get it running check for fluid leaks and temp issues. if you absolutly have to drive it to the tuner but tryin to tow it there.
