Okay guys so I've got a few mods in the mail that I plan on installing this weekend. I want to know if it will be safe to drive my car to the tuner with the mods I'm putting on though.

I will be installing a stage 5 steg ported blower with matching throttle body and plenum. It has a 2.8 upper pulley with stock lower for now. I'll also be putting on a JLT RAI and Bassani catted X-pipe with Flowmaster Catback.

I've got 80lb injectors, BAP, and MAFia also but i will wait until I am at the tuner to install those as long as the above mods are okay to drive with for just a few days. Assuming I completely avoid boost.

I understand this is probably a stupid question to many of you, but I don't know everything about how the computer will react to the increase in airflow. Can someone with some knowledge share some for me? Thanks in advance guys.

Edit: car is an '04 cobra btw sorry.

Edit #2: my goal for the the car right now is 500whp. Do you think I can make that with this setup on 93 octane? In the next few months I plan on getting it setup for e85 but for now all I can run is 93. Also, are the 80lb injectors overkill? Should I just stick with the stock 39lb injectors. Sorry for all of the questions just want to do everything right the first time.

you can never have too much injector lol
That was my thought process while buying them but I've had a few people tell me it's overkill and drivability won't be as good. Drivability is a big deal to me so I don't know.

I would avoid 80s unless you plan to go e85 later as 60s can do what you need and will tune better
