i agree do not run the engine without a proper tune. The green tops are almost double the size of the stock injector as they flow 50lbs in your. You could really do some harm to your engine..

Can you say piston wash or fuel in the oil that will give the bearings a nice clean finish, just before the get damaged.

Tune it, not worth ruining your engine plus it will run like crap just dumping them in there anyways.
