Can I drive to get a tune or should I trailer it - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Recently sold my IPS twin turbo kit and now I'm putting on an ECS super charger. Only difference now is the supercharger instead of turbos.
I'll also be adding a BAP
my current tune is for the TT's with zl1 pump and 80lb injectors.
Pump and injectors weren't removed and will be staying in the car along with the boost a pump. When I install the blower can I drive a couple miles to get the car tuned? Obviously I won't be getting into boost, just normal driving.

I did a cam swap and turbo kit install with a twin disc clutch install. I've put 300 miles on the clutch per the recommended break in period just fine. Went from stage 4 NA cam to stage 4 turbo cam. I haven't built 1psi. I've resisted the urge and zero issues whatsoever other than absolute garbage MPG. Dyno tomorrow at 12 though.

You could rent a uhaul truck and trailer for like $74 for the day and then not even worry about it.

I would think you will be ok to drive it. Just don't get into boost at all. How far do you need to drive it?

I just drove 2 hours one way to the dyno. Was on a 10 psi tune, new pulley combo made 19 psi. You will be fine. Just don't get on it as stated

Won't be an issue at all. Just don't floor it or get up in RPM.

Same thing for me. Have the stock Whipple kit. Adding headers, CAI and 3.875 pulley. I have a 1.5h drive to the tuner. Are headers maybe more of an issue with that low resistance?

You'll be fine just don't get on it know a guy the has a ctsv he went from a stock engine making 650 hp to a 418 making over 1100 hp on the same tune while he was breaking it it just don't get into the throttle. You're tuned for wide open throttle so just grandma driving to for a little isn't a big deal.
