Default Running Untuned with Bigger Injectors?

Would the car run ok if I ran my H/C combo with 42lb injectors untuned for a little while? I'd like to know everything was ok before I slapped it on the dyno.

No you will foul the plugs.. Just slap on the stockers until you go to the tuner and install the 42's at the tuners for tuning.
