Default Fuel System Upgrade Q

I'm upgrading from the stock system with a walbro 255 and 650 injectors, using a utec for tuning. I live ~20 mins from my tuner, if I install the pump and the injectors on my current tune, am i going to be alright driving there and not causing damage?

you might be running rich, but I don't see any harm in the trip. ask a pro though.

Nothing besides some basic bolt-ons, yet. Just getting ready for a FI build. And, typo in my first post, looking at 550 injectors, not 650.

You will be fine. The stock ECU will compensate for the 550 injectors. You will run rich until the computer learns which should only take about 1/2 hour of driving.
