408 with no tune
okay need help with some questions first off would it throw any codes as far as a misfire code and how much of a difference is there in timing. Would the motor be running lean if so how lean well i know its lean just dont have a wideband so not sure on how much its lean would it be that badd for the motor to drive it even if u dont get on it just move it from one place to another at low rpms

Nobody can tell you how lean it will be or if it will be damaging to the engine; the stock PCM won't compensate for how lean the engine will probably run, though it will try, and then throw a code (or two).
It probably won't crank and run without some help, but you should be easy on it until you can get it to a tuner. I wouldn't drive it much if possible.

I installed a 408 into my trans am. It has a 232/232 cam in it. And a 9.5" converter. Between those two it threw P0300 codes. Also it ran lean. AFR at WOT was 14.0ish. I changed the volume inside hp tuners, and updated my VE tables and it runs better now.
