Default Question on boosting prior to tuning on new setup

So I got my LS built this winter with new forged rods and pistons and rings etc. Also swapped Heads from a b18a to a b18b and got a port and polish, resurface, and ARP head studs. So I am wondering prior to getting it retuned and prior to putting in my new injectors is it safe to boost? The compression ratio is the exact same 9:1 and I still have the same 450cc injectors that my hondata is tuned for. Thanks in advance.

it would be a stupid risk to take in my opinion. A built motor is much more $ and time to fix than getting a safe tune on it.

i wouldn't. With the port and polish you are probably going to be running leaner than before because you will be getting more airflow.
