18% pulley no tune safe for easy driving? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Long story story short I replaced the clutch and added a JRE 125 pkg with the 18% lower pulley at the same time and I forgot to email ted my stock tune so I can get the custom tune. Is it safe to ease around town to put some miles on it to break in the clutch with no tune?

I was always under the impression that anything over 10% needed a tune....

dtwolcot2 · 03-21-2015, 07:56 PM

It does need a tune I just failed to send my stock tune to JRE to get my custom tune and I need to put 500 miles on the new clutch to break it in. It's just going to be 2 weeks before I get to drive it again and was hoping I could get some miles on that clutch.

Not sure I would risk it.

If you stay out of boost you should be fine.

If you changed injectors, no.
If not, just stay out of boost.

Stephen12ZL1 · 03-21-2015, 10:42 PM

ease around no problem...no boost and you will be fine.

With id850's. No, you can't run it with out flooding it until you tune.

Absolutely not. You will wash the cylinders with fuel and cause bearing failure in no time.

Ron_Robinson1 · 03-22-2015, 12:28 PM

Just pull your tune off and email it to him. The car doesn't have to be running to pull the tune off or put one on.

He will send you a tune in like 20 min that you can drive around in.
