You might be able to contact your tuner and have him send you a base map just to get it to them.

I would not recommend driving it... but i could be wrong.
Hadent read the thread about the CAI when i responded. Just read it, neat idea, but I would say this is right on. If you moved the MAF's physical location you NEED to tune it before you drive. As it is now, the amount of air being reported to the computer so it can compute fuel trims is incorrect, and i dont think that is going to change without a tune. I would venture a guess that if you look at the LTFT and STFT sensors like i mentioned you will probably see that they will not settle down at all and bounce wildly.. I would at least consider data logging your car at idle and sending it to be reviewed by a tuner prior to driving it, even only 30 miles..

That being said, when you do get a tune / dyno i would LOVE to see what kind of numbers that CAI puts down for you!
