Default What to expect before a tune

Hey Guys,

Changing my gears from a 2.73 to a 3.73, can't wait. But as I drive the car home before it gets a tune, what should I expect, am I going to ruin anything when will it shift? I was going to drive it about five miles home pull the computer for a tune by frost, any comments or how to drive it home would help me out.

Thanks

Zach

you will be fine the speedo will be way off. also your shift points wont be right. it will probably bounce off the limiter if your hard on it. but you have nothing to worrie about. it is going to feel like night and day. have fun.
