For a long time as long as you don't go WOT. I strongly advise zero WOT passes until A/F is checked at a minimum. I just did the same thing about a two weeks ago and of course I had to hit the throttle a couple of times before going to the dyno. I kept telling myself, oh it's ok. Fortunately I didn't tear anything up but after the first pull on the dyno I saw I was actually at a 14 a/f until 5800 then it spiked to like 16 then went way rich like in the 10s. Little did I know the tune was that far off because it seemed to run so well. There was also 20rwhp and 20rwt left on the table for grabs which we found after the dyno tune. Get the tune first is my suggestion speaking from experience!
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
