Default In a jam!!

So I had a LS2 witth Maggy 112 on it. I spun a bearing a re-did the whole motor. Now it has a new Maggy 2300, Trickflow heads, blower cam, 70lb injectors, etc. The orignal company that built the engine and provided the tune password protected the ECM. I asked them to remove the password, which they did but then just put a basic tune on it, which is set for 60lb injectors. So the car will start but of course is lean and runs like crap, I cant drive it like this. The ECM is a MEFI 4 so not many local dyno shops work with that. The closest is about 3 hours away and they real know their shat. I was planning on taking it to them after I drove it for a while for break in but now I either have to tow it to them or find a mail order tune that will get me by. Anyone know of one that I could use? Any other ideas? Thanks

Do you have the old 60lb injectors that you could swap
back on, for temporary?

If the tune is set for 60lb injectors and you are running 70s it should be really rich not lean.

No, I wish.

the more I think about it, even if I buy the software like Mefiburn I am not a tuner and will risk blowing the motor. I can get a flat bed for free so paying for the right tune seems to be my best bet.
