headers changing AFR with supercharger

From useing the search on this topic I have not found much for supercharged ls3. From what I have read adding longtubes headers does not change the air fuel ratio. I'm planing on buying a supercharger soon. I have to get a complete kit with base tune because my dyno tuner is 300 miles away and I have to drive the car there. My question is will useing the base tune with longtubes run a risk of hurting the motor ?

I live in canada so I have to order inside of Canada so the exchange rate don't cost me an extra 30% .that leaves me with getting the vortech V3 kit or the edelbrock tvs2300 kit.only ones available at a decent price range (8000can$)

You'll be fine. I ran my car for a month with long tubes and no cats before it went to the shop for the cam and other work. you'll probably get a check engine light though.

I'm thinking I will be fine too ,just with boost and long tubes i dont want to run out of fuel and blow the thing up. found many guys saying that long tubes don't need tune to be safe just for added power. that's with NA motors I cant find anyone who ran long tubes with base tune for boost and could say how safe it was just have to keep the rpm down tell I get to the dyno tuner

with the boost, you'll definitely want to be more cautious of running lean.
the headers will allow more flow on the exhaust side. it will affect how much air your engine can flow. this will affect your VVE table and in turn your fueling.
I'd stay out of it until you get it tuned.
Should be fine for driving it gingerly.
