It'll run ok for awhile, but I wouldn't run it too long without a proper tune. And no way in hell I'd spray it without a tune.

you can drive it as long as you need to on the tune, i ran mine for a week on the stock tune, the 224 shouldnt be as bad, especially since you have the gears for it. it will respond very well on the gas

Yeah it will be fine ... I drove mine for awhile on a 220 tune, was just a small pain in the ***, but ran much better than I would have expected.

The biggest thing is whether or not they raised your idle and a/c idle .... if they did (which I am assuming they did) it will run good ... if they didn't it will probably be a pain in the ***.

I wouldn't do any WOT runs, and most certainly wouldn't spray that big of a shot without it being tuned.

Enjoy.
