Installing Stroker - Can it be broken in w/ the old tune?
I'm replacing my 346 w/ a LS7 based 427. My current motor makes about 430-440 rwhp and I'm running 42lb injectors. As part of the swap I will be upgrading my stock fuel pump.
Is it ok to run the current tune if I keep it under 3,000 rpm? Then after about 500 miles I would get a dyno tune.
Would it be better to get a base/safe tune from the tuner?
I was thinking of using Mike Norris.
Thanks

So I'd need to install a base tune and then make sure I have a wideband? I thought at low rpm it wouldn't need significantly more fuel than my current 346. Guess I was wrong? Install is in my garage so my options are limited. No I don't want to hurt the motor.
I e-mailed Mike and haven't received a reponse. Guess he doesn't do e-mails.
Thanks for the replies.
