Which cai is it? If it's a rotofab you should be fine as long as you stay out of boost but other intakes may skew the maf more, I haven't dealt with others on this platform.

Ask the shop for a basic tune and then they can dial it in when the car arrives.
Once you change your injectors you have to tune the car. Or just bite the bullet and get a flat bed tow truck to deliver the car.

I know I need a tune after installing the 850's in order for it to start and run,thats why I am having them install them at there shop They dont do email tunes for handhelds, I think they just flash the pcm. Trying to avoid a hefty towing bill or else I would have installed the injectors and had it towed.

If you get into some boost you will run the risk of leaning out due to lack of fuel...
Can you safely drive to the shop? No ... Can you risk driving it to the shop without damaging your car? Yes You are going to throw cel codes for the LTs I maxed the duty cycle of stock injectors with a 5% pulley and cai ... you are running a 22% |

If you just drive normal and not get on it you'll be fine.

Take the blower belt off and drive it. For added protection against undesired boost

Just keep your foot out of it. You'll be fine.

Thanks for the feedback guy's, kinda figured I would have to drive like a old lady and stay out of the boost just wanted to make sure.

Can your tuner put a base tune on your pcm if you send it in to him?
That's what I ended up doing.
