It shouldnt mess anything up, just make sure its in time and dont romp on it too much. If anything it just wont run near its best.

Yeah because stock ECU's are programmed to aftermarket specs...

You should at the very least get a base map for your set-up.

So your saying its going to completely destroy his car in 100 miles? I dont think so, Like he said earlier he knows (as well a as I) that it will have to be tuned, but imo 100 miles wont hurt it if he doesnt get on it.

You never know. I wouldn't drive a car untuned with those mods.

What ECU does he have?

Has the bottom end been broken-in?

Those are both factors.

The point is, when you put the money into your car and drive it around without a tune, you're just asking for problems.

pretty much the question is we live in a Chevy/Ford Town NO ONE TUNES IMPORTS and we have to make it out to Houston or dallas to get a tune, whats the point of taking the car in a tow truck to get tuned and then its drivable back... GAS mileage in a truck sucks expecially with a trailer and another car on it haha
