Default Running untuned

So I have an appointment to get my car dyno tuned here locally. I dont know if I should tow it down there or not. It was just supercharged and now all I have is the out of the box NA SCT tune on it. When I test drove it around the block, I was pretty hard to drive and wanted to buck alot. So can I drive it if I keep the RPMs low or should I just tow it?

About 13 miles, 8 of it on the highway. The biggest thing that worries me is the bucking though.

i've heard if you keep it out of boost your ok, however; if you have free towing with AAA or whoever your insurance company is, you may want to be safe and do the towing bit.

Go to the tuner in another vehicle and have em put a safe drivable tune on your SCT box!

+1 if you don't even have a base tune then your car is gonna run like **** because of the MAF and injectors.
