Pulley Swap and Driving to tuner?

How many of you have dropped down in pulley size and driven to the tuner? I’m dropping from stock Eforce pulley to 3.25” pulley and need to make a 50 mile drive to the tuner. I’ve heard people talk about swapping in the parking lot of the tuner after the drive, and others are just staying out of boost. I will be having the tuner install my Injectors, just trying to avoid another hour of labor for the pulley and belt swap.

What are most of you doing?

You'll be fine. Just stay out of boost, as you said.

So if i drop to a 2.4" Metco pulley and drive like 5 miles down the road to the tuner to get retune, i should be good?

Unless you are speed density (SD) tuned, you will be fine, you can even see a little boost with out issue, just no WOT until you get it tuned up.
