Is atleast get s wideband gauge hooked up, but it "should" be ok to drive for awhile if you use your stock ( from your car) injectors

Stock for stock you gain more torque and it will come into the power earlier at lower rpms. I've seen people gain 5 hp from a tune and I've seen others gain 35+ hp, so its hard to say

with a stock lq4 you'll probably dyno around 320ish. maybe a little lower due to low comp ration
