Default Tuning new injectors

Need help. I am upgrading my 380cc injectors to 600cc DW injectors and Walbro fuel pump. My question is after I make the swap can I drive it gently to a tuner without changing maps? I dont have a cable.

You will struggle, I tried to drive mine around for a few days with 600cc DW walbro and a fuel return (with a vortech v3 also). It ran pig rich and bogged down a lot even with me reducing the fuel pressure. Ended up having to hire a trailer as I didn't want to damage the engine.

No problem, I had a 240 mile trip to my tuner, it would have been fine if the road was flat but any hills/load on the engine and it really struggled, so much so I thought the car was going to come to a stop once

That's what I would do ... bring a 10 12 and 14 mm a 3/8 ratchet ans if you really wanna move fast an electric impact.tuner may not like it but in that case do it a few blocks down

In vacuum you have 20% o2 correction so if you are light in the throttle then it should be fine.

Do you have a return fuel system with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? You can drop the fuel pressure which would make those 600's act like smaller injectors for the drive.
