Default Fine, just don't go into boost and stuff...

I do it every year when I need to pass inspection.

If you floor it, expect bad things.

make sure you have the stock MAF in there too.

Default It will run, but not that great

I ran on stock software with SLIGHTLY bigger injectors and the 3" maf housing, it ran and didn't throw any codes but it ran like crap.

what is your goal with this?

Default large injector on stock software = bad...very bad!

the bigger maf + stock injectors won't cause nearly as many problems as running the bigger injectors (reguardless of MAF) does.

if you're running green tops or whatever, when running on stock software it will inject nearly twice the fuel.

this = wash down cylinder walls/rings = bad

i wouldn't drive it for more than a few miles like that

your air fuels are probably in the 10;1 range..Bad!!

Default To clarify:

Stock MAF in 3" housing. The issue I am having is that it runs *horrible* at idle and low throttle settings. No one can clarify if the software is for bigger injectors or not. I have to get the rest of the install 100% before I can really drive it to see what long term fuel trims are. It ran much better with a *huge* vacuum leak.
