Driving to tuner w/ out tune. FP Red....
Have a 06 IX with 49k miles. Fully bolted on / 272 cams / 385 / 30psi stock turbo currently.
I am going to be installing an FP red setup and was hoping it'll be okay to drive ~2 hours without a tune as long as I do my best to not hit boost

If you're on MAF, it'll be OK. If you're on speed density, it probably won't run well enough to drive.

You're fine on maf or SD given the only thing you changed is turbo.....provided you completely stay out of boost! In the vacuum, idle and cruise range it's mostly closed loop and the timing map largely doesn't change much. Whole different story in boost where even for the same psi different turbos need different timing and fuel.
As a general note, maf does awesome at compensating for literally anything short of new injectors in idle/cruise. SD is more finicky and if you do something like change cams it definitely needs a retune.

Thanks. I have 1200cc Precision injectors. Along with the AEM 320lph pump. Should be enough fuel right?

On MAF he'll be fine.

^ I can't say I've had that problem. I've put cars on SD tunes with similar cams/injectors/intake/TB/displacement but different turbos and they would start up and drive in closed loop without too much issue. Turbos effect on VE really comes into play when they start adding serious airflow to the engine. Only matters around 0psi and above. Which admittedly most people run into if they are not careful. If you watch your boost/vacuum gauge you can drive around on it. Disconnect your uicp and try next time.
