Default How long can I run rich w/Uberchip?

I just had a thought.. I was ready to throw on my turbo setup (finally!) this weekend, but the thing is, I'm at college and I'd throw the turbo on at home, 200 miles away. I have an Uberchip setup that's untuned, and by default, set a little rich until I do tune. I'm worried that if I drive 200 miles at 4k rpm to come back to school after Thanksgiving, with the turbo, is the running slightly rich going to cause any problems other than with the spark plugs?

Better yet, does anyone know exactly how rich Uberteg set his maps, or do I even need to care, will I be in boost at 4k at less than half throttle?

That all depends on how bad/well it runs untuned.

you wont be in boost, if its scaled correctly for your injectors you wont run hardly rich at all. basically you will be fine. ps post this in the uberdata thread.
