Default pre-flash question

hey can i put in my bigger injectors for the stage 1+ for the drive to get it reflashed for stage 1+? i know itll run rich but better rich than lean. you think itll hurt anything?- its a 2 hour drive and i dont want to pay the place to put them in for me cuz its easy as hell.

ya the only problem with the parking lot is that this place is staying open late for me b/c the only time i can get there is right when they close and they told me they would stay open for me an extra 20 min. to flash it. and i dont wanna be sitting there in the parking lot for 15 min. while theyre waiting to go home. it would be kind of an *** thing for me to do in my opinion. i guess ill try to run the car on stage 1 map with the bigger injectors. prolly throw a code because long term fuel trim might go past 25% to compensate on a 2 hour drive but itll get there i would think. whats the worst that could happen besides a code and maybe some cat conv. damage?

What's wrong with driving there with the old injectors in, having them flash your chip, turning the chip to stock mode (assuming you are getting multiple programs), driving home, and doing the injectors later?

Or having them flash it first, then changing the injectors in their parking lot while they go home?

well if you get it chipped with standard injectors your not getting the full benefit because the dyno wont be able to set it right, then there are the other thing like the pump and filter.

when you consider upgrading consider all the facts
