Yes, it will be completely safe to run the car without the FMU. Just try not to get too heavy on the throttle before getting the car tuned. Also, since your mods are so minimal and since you are only going to run low boost, you may get away with just running the 30lb injectors. Again, a dyno can verify that. Once you start throwing on big mods, then you will need to step up to some bigger 42lb injectors. But for now, you will be fine.

Hahah, niice, I can't wait for the sc though, it'll be sick. I probably won't notice too much with the manifold but it will help later
