Default quick question...

ok so i am installing a fast 102/102 set up on my 02 firechicken. i am new to this and the job is no problem but i am also installing a big MAF to run with the set up. this car is my only way of transportation and i know i need a tune but will installing these parts make it not run until i get it tuned? i just want to make sure i can get to a shop w/o towing it because i would be screwed if i get it all put on and it wont start up bc of the intake difference.

oh and i am running the front strut brace and the manifold is pretty big. am i gonna be able to keep the brace? i already know i gotta take it off for install but i just wanna make sure i have the clearance when its all said and done

thanks guys

it will have a very tough time running.. your better off putting the intake/tb setup on.. and using the stock maf until you get to the tuner.. once you get there, swap the maf on.. that's what I did at least

the only way to tell if you'll be able to use the STB is to get it installed and then see if it fits
