Safe to drive 2 mile to dyno w/o tune?

leoliyutan · 09-19-2017, 11:28 AM

Hi, I just installed my stillen sc kit on my z. And the tuner is only 2 miles away from my home. So it is safe to drive to the dyno without a tune? I will drive slowly and keep rpm low for this 2 miles.

Did stillen not send you a base tune with the kit? If so you should be fine. If not I doubt the car would even start due to having different injectors

My car did not even idle greater than about 10 sec post-SC install...

Tow it. Safer for you and the engine.

Sign up for AAA. You'll get a free flatbed tow (up to free 6 miles). Hopefully you will never need it again, but post stillen S.C. for me, I had to tow again.

I would definitely tow your 370Z to your tuner it would be safest for your engine seeing the big investment you put into your 370Z. It should have came with a base tune so you can be able to limp it to the dyno to have your 370Z tuned.
