NJ I dunno what to do ???

Ok, im finally about to have my FC done and i ran into a little problem. Im picking up the motor on monday and ill have everything installed by tuesday of next week. My only problem is i have to get the car tuned and KDR is about an hour and a half away.

My question is, Would i be able to make the drive on my old tune??

I have a microtech and it was tuned before for the stock turbo, stock port and bigger injectors. My motor now has a Half-Bridge and a Gt4088, so im not sure if i could just drive it up there.

Holy ****, So far it looks like driving on the old tune is a bad idea? I figure if i keep it slow around 55 the whole way then i should be fine, i just dont want to throw up the money for an expensive *** tow job.

You'll be throwing the money up for an expensive *** rebuild if you don't tow it. That is a vastly different setup than stock. You might be able to street tune it enough to get it up there, but is that a chance you want to take with your expensive new engine?

I actually dont have the stuff to tune the microtech myself, but if i could find someone to give me like a quick tune for a couple bux that would be good. Thats a good f-in idea
