Default Is my car safe to drive?

I just finished my build
Ms3 cam, mild head work, ls6 intake, Ud pulley, long tubes, true duals etc. I have not gotten my car tuned yet and while I had the motor and everything pulled I swapped out the steering rack and now the car is severly out of alignment is my car safe to drive to the shop and get an alignment or should I have it towed there?

1) I don't think you are in the right section for steering.

2) I don't think this is a wise question to answer for anyone who has not seen your car or the suspect of the steering problem. It should not be that far out if you went back with the same rack etc. Good luck to you.

Sorry I should have made it more clear. I could care less or it's safe for me to drive because of the steering I swapped the rack for a reason. My last one was leaking like crazy. My question pertains to the safety of my motor. Am I going to hurt anything driving I untuned to get an allignment

This has to do with my tuning and motor safety so I believe this is the right section but I could be wrong

I would say no. With cam, head, and intake changes, you've significantly increased air flow. But, you havn't increased the fuel flow. The closed loop system will compensate a little bit. But it's usually programmed to be no more than a 10% change, and only at part throttle cruise.

If you don't have a wide band tuner of your own, I would trailer it.
