Default cam swap question

Quick question I'm fixen to pull the small cam in my signature and put in a hawks sinister. 230/236 .595/.601 on a 110lsa , I'm also adding a set of 42# injectors, racetronix fuel pump w/ harness, and 3800 stall. The lq4 is hot tuned for the small cam and headers now. Do you think I can start it after the swap or wait for the retune first. I'm Leary because of the fuel system upgrades.
Thanks!

If you did everything except the injectors you'll be fine. You're going to take it to be tuned? Save the injector swap until you get ready to tune.

You can start it. It'll run 9:1 AFR and be tough to keep running

Unhappy

I used Jessie bubb for my first tune. I plan to just start it make sure the swap is good and send the computer off for reflash. After I get the paint job I may get a dyno tune but Jessie dose pretty good with his mail order tunes I have heard. Mine seemed fine but I'll never know if I'm leaving power on the table till I dyno it. I'm just not sure I trust anyones abilities Here around Lubbock Texas. Texas speed moved off and Nelson is 6+ hrs away too.
