Default Just finished h/c swap, got a question ?

I just finished putting on some afr 205's , trak cam, ls6 oil pump, fast 90mm intake, Nick williams 90mm tb, and some 42lb injectors. Should I try and drive it 30 minutes to dyno tune running rich or should I trailer it over to not risk fouling plugs or worse ?

I would fire it.
It's good to get a few heat cycles on it before you run it hard, WOT.

After I installed my 37lb injectors I drove it home from the shop(10 miles) and it would be okay as long as I didn't put it under any real load. I just babied the throttle as easy as possible. It will definetly start throwing rich Bank 1/bank 2 codes almost right away. If you anyone that could come scale the injectors before you try to drive much at all you will be alot better off.

I cranked it twice and got it to operating temp, and even took it for a drive around block, but its running extremly rich, the smell of gas stay in the garage for a day ! Sounds great too !
