when you get it rescale the MAF via the hptuenrs scanner and flash it with the vcm editor. thats all i would really do. is he giving you the hptuner cable with it?

Ehh theoretically it should throw a code because fuel trims will be off. But I have seen some that dont throw codes its weird. Id get it tuned as soon as possible. It might try to go into limp mode
