Intake no tune?

Is is okay to drive a car after a fast intake install without a tune? It will be only to get it to the house after install then send pcm to get mail order tune.

Fuel trims should compensate well enough to get it home, assuming that you're using the same injectors as before. If you were changing a camshaft, that'd be a different story.

Might have some idle issues but it'll be fine to drive.

When I put the FAST on my buddies on TA, he didn't have a tune (nor did he ever end up getting one). He drove around, for a few months (even selling the car) with a FAST 92, 90mm TB, LT's, TD's, and 3.73's with NO tune. The car ran "fine", the only "issue" he had was an idle issue (it would surge) but he fixed that by adjusting the throttle cable and such.

idk, his TA was an LS1; you'll have to ask someone who has one to see. He told me he just adjusted the "throttle plate adjustment screw" on the TB, but I had an LS1 SS, and don't recall ever finding a "throttle plate adjustment screw" on the TB; though i never needed to "find" one on my car, so idk if there even is one. I'm guessing he just adjusted the cable tension on the throttle cable to open the flap more at idle to let more air in, but since the LS3 doesn't have that, idk how you can adjust that.
