Default TR230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA: OK to drive 180 miles to the tuner?

I've been looking at the TR224, but have been thinking heavily towards the TR230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA.
I've an M6 with mods in signature,
If I install the TR230/224 will the engine be ok to drive the 180 miles to the tuner? Not too lean or too rich to do damage?
My car was tuned after the header-exhaust installation.

Thanks,

After I installed mine, I drove 10 miles to my tuner and AF and timing were right on the money from my previous tune. It drove fine once it was moving, but I had to two-foot it every time I came to a stop (I'm A4). I would think you would be okay.....just be gentle on her until you get the tune. BTW, I love this cam. Sounds mean as hell and makes awesome power everywhere. Good luck.

We are in the middle of installing this cam in my sons camaro. He wants so bad for it to start up and run without having to tune it the first day. If he is lucky we may be able to get the head cam swap done by next weekend and get it tuned the following weekend. Good to hear you guys are happy with the cam.

You can drive it on the highway with no problems. I drove mine about 160 miles to a tuner and it was fine. Gas mileage even seemed a little better than before the cam swap. The A/F was a little rich, but not enough to worry about...still within the limits of a narrowband A/F gauge.
Just don't do any WOT runs until it gets tuned.
