Default Tuning question

So I will be installing my Jenvey ITB's in about another 2 weeks along with my smsp header I just got (the hottness by the way).

As you all know, my timing belt snapped which means that my mechanic will be setting my cam gears back to 0 when they put on the new Toda timing belt.

Will the car even start with the new mods? if it does, will I hurt anything driving it home like 3 miles? I plan on getting tuned by jeff evans obviously but hes booked 3 months in advance...so i might hav eto go else where for a preliminary tune...but yea what you all think?

I just don't wanna hurt the engine

You need to convert to OBD-1 if you want to tune properly. What tuning system do you have?

When are you going to "learn" with that car?
... that simpler is better, esp. for a daily driver!

honestly, just get it towed home. it can't possibly be that much, and you won't be kicking yourself in the pants if something goes wrong. better yet, tow the car to your prelim tuner and get him to work things out before you drive.

well I won't be able to get it tuned for like 3-4 months, cause he books far in advance. I will prolly have to get it towed to another local shop that tunes and just tell them to get it running properly, without a aggressive tune. I will let a tuner I trust give it a real tune haha
