Default Is this possible?

Hey Guys, I just got my D1SC in the mail yesterday. Looks great!

The closest tuner to me is 2 hrs away. I feel confident I can install this beast myself, but I am no way qualified to tune it.

Is it possible to install this and then drive to my tuner? I would hate to go lean and then go boom. So would there be a way to for me to disconnect the supercharger. Once at the tuner's shop I will allow him to install the injectors and fuel pump as well.

Thanks!

You should be able to just disconnect the blower belt and drive it fine.

I have a 3500 stall, so I am a little worried about going into the boost.

I am a noob to FI, so if I can get the car to 3500 rpm's and not be in boost let me know, lol

it doesn't matter how many rpms you turn as long as the throttle is barely open.boost is present at most rpms with a d1, but the engine will not see boost unless you open the throttle blade far enough to let it in.

Take the belt off. It will run. My buddy snaped his belt on his stang, and still raced NA and drove 1 hour home!
