alright guys so i am getting ready to break my new motor and im gona do it n/a for the first 1500 miles. i have my power fc outa my gsr and it was tuned. it had a skunk2 intake, type r throttle body and a generic header on it. will it be a safe base map for my new build to put the first 1500 baby miles on it or do i need to go get the thing tuned again for my new build?
new build:
ls sleeved bottom end 83 mil
9.1 comp ratio
port and polished gsr head
gsr cams
edelbrock victor x intake mani and 70 mil throttle body
generic header for break in and stock injectors for breakin
will the old n/a base map in the power fc be ok or do i need to go get it tuned again? kinda hoping that i can use it so i can save the money for an extra hour of tuning when the gt35r and rc 750's go in. assuming its gona take a while to tune it when it all goes on cause i want to gear base my boost with my avc-r. any feed back would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

get it tuned.

Keep your stock map sensor in, and keep stock injectors in and DO not go into boost.

if you want to be super safe, pull your wastegate spring

on a fresh build. i think its the best idea to tow it straight to the tuner. i guess you could fire it up to check for leaks and whatnot but i wouldnt drive it for any amount of time.

put it on the dyno and tune. no break-in needed.

thanks for the help so far! anymore opinions? or options? its a 150 to 175 mile tow or drive to the only tuner that can tune power fc around my town

it'll be ok to break it in with the stock ecu, NA.

thats how I plan to break my motor in, then drive it to the tuner not in boost, watching my a/f.

agreed, thats how I did mine and it's still running great....

In a perfect world, you would want to take it to the tuner, but its not something that will make or break the build imo

i read some where to put the stock ecu in and run it NA but run it hard for about 200 miles
