Default is it ok to drive with larger injectors and stock ecu for a little bit?

like the title says, is it ok to drive with larger injectors and a stock ecu if the rpm's are kept down? i have 450 cc injectors on my turbo gsr, and i need to get it to the tuner's shop to get the ecu socketed and tuned. will driving it there (30 minutes) do any damage to the engine?

Drive a spare car to your tuner with your ECU in hand.

Have him burn you a basemap.

Go home and install the newly chipped ecu and then drive back and get tuned.

If you dont have an extra car, your parents or friends do.
