Default SC tune?
i'm about to put in my powerdyne SC and was wondering if it would be safe to drive without the tune? have not put in bigger injectors yet....would a PCMforless tune be ok for it if its not safe w/o a tune for now?

Provided you don't install the larger injectors right now you should be able to drive your car just fine. Just stay out of boost until you get the larger injectors installed and your car tuned.

no boost = negative pressure in the manifold

If it even comes above 0 you are askin for trouble. I would leave it sit for now till you get the bigger injectors and tune.

I wouldn't drive it. All it takes is once hitting the pedal too hard...
