hey all just installed a vortech v2 SC
1 step colder plugs
gt maf
walboro 255 pump
HFCats
600cc injectors


can I start the car and check for leaks?

I have an appointment 40min from home and was wondering about driving the car with the stock ECU

thankz

 

It would be an expensive mistake if something happens.

I know people have done it with the supercharger belt removed.

 

People have done it by not going into boost, or removing the supercharger belt like terrasmak has said. With that said, I'd probably just trailer it or be extremely careful!

 

So if your going to drive it to the tuner, put the stock injectors and MAF back in it. Also remove the belt from the blower.

 

+1...the OEM tune will probably not be able to handle the aftermarket injectors and MAF; removing the blower from the belt will also keep the car from going into boost without a tune

 

I know plenty of guys who drive their FI cars to the tuner.

Most don't go above 3k rpm but idk how safe that really is. If you have no choice do what you gatta do. But it's obviously not optimal.

 

Just to update this thread my tuner said it was ok to start and run for a bit with the GT maf and injectors not either or..
It did start and run rough idle is jumpy but managed to back it out of the trailer and into the shop for a tune without it dying
