Default bad to drive on bigger injectors w/out tune?

i recently got some 30lb red top svo injectors. Im going to switch them out with the stock 02 z28 injectors. Would it be ok to drive it to get it tuned?

You run the risk of hydro-lock. I wouldn't do anything to the injectors until you have it in the tuners hand.

Your gonna need the injectors tuned in, got something to do with the duty cycle. It may run pig rich, may not run at all, may self destruct im not sure, I would not do it though. You could try posting this in the tuning section or pm (even call) a vendor to get a definate answer.

it will most likely wash the cylinder walls out diluting the oil and burn up your engine!
