The PCM will add 20% more fuel than necessary, and you'll run VERY rich. This can lead to a bunch of things you don't want happening.

Put the stock injectors in it and swap the 30s in when you get where you are going to get it tuned.

I've run the car w/ the 30svo's and it was a no no. It was smoking and idling ruff had to put the stockers back on till it was tuned.

Can't you just put the new injectors in when you have the tune loaded? It would only take a few minutes to swap out the old ones. You're talking about alot of fuel.

I fouled and wasted a perfectly good set of expensive plugs thinking I could run it a bit and then drive the 27 miles to the tuner...
