Default Quick Question

I have a quick question, question is do you think its ok to drive my car as a daily driver until i get it tuned.... Reason asking is it seems to be running pretty rich, And ofcourse my mods are in my signature.... I just installed the polluter cam...... So im just wanting to make sure its ok to daily drive while its untuned.... Trying to be Safe and not mess anything up...
THanks chris!

How long before you get it tuned? I drove mine maybe a week before it got tuned. Whatever you do don't get on it at all for obvious reasons. The sooner you can get it tuned the better. Just be easy on it and all should be good.

Might be fat idling while you are sniffing around, but might go lean in upper R's when you can't be sniffing the exhaust....

Your fueling is not gonna be correct for the cam at WOT. If it's lean you can hurt the motor. Just driving around at part throttle is okay, because the O2's correct the air/fuel ratio. It's just gonna be a pain to keep it idling.
