Question stock tc

what would happen if you ran a stock stall with the cam in my sig? there will be a couple of weeks between when the cam gets here and when the vig 3600 gets in. will the car be driveable or will it damage anything? this is my first cam and tc install so i'm a little clueless about it all.

It won't damage anything, but you're gonna be pissed off when you're in traffic.

You won't be able to leave the car in gear when stopped, you'll have to put it into neutral until you're ready to go again.

I am driving around on a stock TC and a cam right now while the Yank gets fixed.. My car actually idles better with the stock TC.. It does take more to stop it at light but I do not have to put it in Netural or anything.. You can drive around just fine, it will be more annoying than anything...

It won't be very much fun at all, with my 230/245 cam I had to put it in neutral at lights, because it would want to surge, plus with the low vacuum because of the bigger cam, the brakes sucked when sitting at a light, or low cruising/stopping. plus the performance sucked, until you got the revs higher, once you got going, as soon as I put in my 3800 fuddle stall. all the problems went away... plus off the line is a beast now, if I can get traction...
