I'm not sure what you mean by testing, but the general rule is driving is ok, especially with smaller cams. No WOT though because running it lean under a load is a big no-no.

Also, since you've eliminated the egr and air pump, plus running the FAST and ported heads, you should be getting quite a bit more air, and little more fuel. I definitely wouldn't push it - just not worth the chance.

yup what MC hammertime said, just keep your RPMs low and don't drive it that much and you should be fine. should pack a nice little punch when you get her tuned.

As long as you drive it easy you should be fine, just don't get on it without a tune. When i installed my MS3 turns out my A/F wasn't to bad, it was pretty close to where it is now. But its better to play it safe till all the proper settings are set in.

I drove my 222/226 and 228/232 untuned with worked 241 castings milled .030. If you swap injectors that is when you will most likely start running into problems. If you take it easy I would say your ok. Your duty cycle on the stockers just moved up a notch though. lol I can tell you that!

I say you are gonna be fine too but take it easy, no WOT. I agree on the injectors but not exactly sure when they max out at, guys? I know most get a minimum of svo 30#(rated 36#). Your stock fuel pump is fine but duty cycle will def be high.
