will the car start with 60lb inj without a tune?

I have a tune coming up tuesday and wanted to swap the injectors but I was wondering if the car will start and run long enough to drive it on to a trailer?

I'm on a tight schedule so I'd rather do it before loading it on the trailer.

Any incite?

It will run but it will run rich if it is tuned for smaller injectors.

Its an 04 gto with the stock tune. You think it will be ok just to start it and drive it on to a trailer so I can haul it to the tuner?

When I had my 408 built it had 60# injectors on it and the stock LS1 tune and I had to drive it a couple of days before I could get the tune done I just never went above 2000 rpms with it.

My gto started and ran decent with maf unplugged, 2 bar map, 80lb injectors, and e85 with no tune lol. Should be okay.

I did the fuel system and even drove the car with e85, 80s, no maf, and stock map for maybe 100 miles just making sure all the bugs were worked out before the tuner took it.

Once the 2 bar map went on it was much harder to get it to run then.

My old vortech car in sig drove 60 miles on the interstate running 70mph to the tuner and ran like stock when crusing with siemens 60's in it. No prob at all.

i was able to drive my camaro onto a trailer after swapping to 60lbers and i also installed a torquer v2 cam, it did not want to idle but i could keep it running long enough to get it onto a trailer. I also had an adjustable fuel pressure regulator so i turned it down as far as i could to try and compensate.
