do not drive it.
do your heat cycles and then get to to the tuner or have him send you a tune that is safe to at least drive it on if you have a handheld. drive it very gingerly if you do.

^^^im with him, but if you do have to drive it to the tuner (ONLY) then please please please make sure those springs have a few heat cycles (completely cold to running temps for a Lil while), and DO NOT get on it.
This goes for the rest of the times. Please make sure your car is warmed up at running temps before you get on it, springs need heat so avoid broken springs. Ask me how I know lol

From cold to run temps like mentioned above. If you can tow it, that would be your best bet. Just makes it easier and a peace of mind if it was my car. |

I drove mine ~ 60 miles without any problem (to the tuner)... except for the engine stalling at every red light and stop sign.

You should be able to drive it to the tuner, it won't run very well but DO NOT run it hard.

Tuner should be able to send to a base tune that is good for you combo.

When the motor is cold, start it run it for a while then shut it down tip it's completely cold. Start the process all over again. Do this a few times.
