SAFE TO DO OR NOT

So I've installed all my parts in garage with friend , headers, flex sensor, 103mm throttle body etc. Was told it's safe to drive just not go into boost to get to shop 10min away. Well now I've decided to put my stage 2 weapon x tune needed intake on the car. And curious if it'll be safe to drive 10min to shop? Obviously not going into boost but low 45-60mph .. reason I'm not letting shop do intake is because stupid for me to let them install my intake that took me 15min put on and let them charge me 150$ for doing.

why don't you have that thing flat bedded over there man?

why take the risk? I"m sure it'll probably be fine to drive it. But I wouldn't take the risk. You've spent all this money on the car and on the mods and now on the tune.

why not spend the extra $50-$100 to put it on a flat bed?

Yeah that's what I'm thinking but I'm also on a super tight schedule and can barely make it to the shop and last thing I need is to schedule a tow and the guy is 1hr late.. which is how the 15+ tows I've had in my life have all been

You should be fine if you don't get into boost. Put it in SNOW/ICE mode.

I drove mine with 15 percent pulley intake and headers with cat delete. Just stay out of boost you will be fine.

Stay out of boost, NO aggressive throttle usage and keep the RPM's as low as possible so shift early.
