Default APR before 1k miles. Problem?

Id like to flash my car with APR before the weekend, It only has 800 or so miles on it. Is this a big problem, it is it only a guideline to wait X miles?

Default It's not a problem, I waited just to make sure my car was issue-free..

If the car had some kind of issue bone stock, I didn't want the dealer hassling me over the reflash, so I waited to make sure I had a good example before I started modifying it..

Default ??? Thats about $100 cheaper than getting an SPS unit from other companies to switch...

and you would have to carry around the unit in your glove box...add to that there is no way to security lockout the dealership from those switching protocals...add to that they are not even available from the other tuners yet. cheers! Mike
