What to do to get a tune

Guys I ordered my ATI kit. I got the D1-SC. I have 42# injectors and the Racetronics kit. My kit should be coming with the 3.60 pulley. My friends and I will be installing my kit but I know with the stock tuning with 42# injectors installed will flood the motor. I have to drive the car to get it tuned and the closest place in San Antonio. What should I do and how should I do it? Should I drive the car up there and install the 42# in the parking lot before the tune? Another Question is will that Racetronics kit be fine to run all the time or do you think the relay will go out? Is it enough pump? I am running LT's and a comp 212/218 .522/.529 114 LSA cam with stock heads. How much boost will I be seeing? Thanks for your input.

i would install the 42's there. YOu dont want to foul the plugs or something.

if the racetronix kit is an intank youll be alright. IF it isnt id get an intank pump.

Re: What to do to get a tune

smokinHawk, The Racetronics kit is an intank pump. Its the Walbro 255L. Thats what i was thinking install the 42's there. Will i have any problems with the blower? How do i get the car up there with the blower not making any boost? Being on a stock tune and all. Where should I go for a tune thats close to Corpus Christi?
Thanks

Dont put your belt on the blower for the drive up.Try MTI if they are closer.

Re: What to do to get a tune

if you keep the rpms low on the way over there (not going above 4psi) you should be fine, id try to get that boost as low as posible on your drive though.
