Default Running intake without tune?

I just installed my C&L street intake. I went to flash my car and got an ECM not supported code. I really do not want to take off the intake and reinstall the old one. My question is, will I do any damage to my car by running it with an intake and no tune? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the "Street" version is okay to be used on the stock tune but maybe someone else can verify.

Only if you have the no tune "option" http://www.cnlperformance.com/notune.html

Otherwise it will run like crap.

Your car will run like crap and probably throw a CEL for being too lean.

Too lean without the tune = bad news for your Stang........

Just give it a day or two.....your engine light will come on telling you to fix the problem!!!

Either take the CAI off or park it until you get the tunes............impatience will get you things to repair.......... [>:]
