Default car sputters in WOT

Sup HT,

I recently swapped a B18C into my EK and time finally came to start playing with it. But now when I'm at WOT the car starts to sputter and the RPMS are off as well. I want to take the car to the Tuner but I worried ill break something if I drive it like this. Heres a list of my extras maybe someone can give me some insight on what could be causing it.

AEM Short ram
S2 Alpha 70mm TB
Edlebrock IM

No name headers
Apex WS2 noir pipes

S2 tuner 1 cams
S2 cam gears

255 fuel pump
8AN fuel lines
AEM rail and reg
RC 370 injectors

I was thinking the injectors were causing the problem and ill be swapping the stock ones tomorrow to see. But does anyone else have any suggestions?

Im using a Stock JDM P72 at the moment. I have a S300 that ill use when I tune it.

You can't put non-stick injectors in a car on a stock ecu and expect it to run correctly bud - it NEEDS to be tuned for them.

Put the stock injectors back in and get it to your tuner, and have him/her properly tune it with the larger injectors

Stop going WOT. Your car isn't tuned yet. Your head is flowing a lot more air over stock, your ecu doesn't know it has over sized injectors in it. I'd take it straight to the tuner and let him get it mapped out before something gets damaged.
