For Toda C you will definitly need bigger injectors to get the most performance.
I would suggest a minimum of 310 CC/min.
As for the break in period, a basic program should be find. I am running with 310 cc/min injectors and Toda B rigth now on the stock ECU, I just lowered the fuel pressure so I don't run to rich. But I also make sure I don't rev. the engine to much until I dyno tune the car. The most important thing is to drive at low rpm for several hundred miles and gradualy increase the RPM, don't leave the tuning shop and rev. the engine at 8000 rpm. After the break in period, you can reprogram the ECU on the dyno with a Hondata or similar stand alone computer.
Won't Topspeed install the proper ECU program to at least be able to run with the car ?

For break-in, stock injectors will be fine. Run like 45-50psi of fuel pressure.
You're not gonna be beating on it anyway, at least for a couple hundred miles.

Your name is Pinhead, not Pinota.

Yeah, I'll tell Chris to set base timing at like 14 or 15. It'll be fine.
