Default Boosting my 404's.. Tuning options.

I'm kinda clueless on what to do so bare with me.
I have a 1997 LS motor with
404 Crower cams. with the crower valve spring and retainer kit.
It is currently tuned with an SAFC, great idle, running well.

I was planning to run boost with this setup.
The problem I think I have is how I should tune my fuel management.

I'm going to be running 450 cc injectors. I have the obd 1 conversion harness with an ecu, I was planning to run with Uberdata.

Should I run Uberdata with a Standard 450cc basemap for the moment? Would it be fine to run that along with my SAFC so my cams will still be tuned correctly?

Or should I run the SAFC hack?... the thing I'm afraid of doing that because I don't want to ruin my settings for the cams. Or is it more simple than I'm thinking.

Also I won't be able to get on a dyno for about a month or so.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Lots. You could widen the LSA with some cam gears, but you could just as easily sell them and run the stock cams for boost.

boosting on huge cams isn't the best idea, but it can work.

Uberdata start up maps are notorious for still being way too rich, and using cams that could potentially pull less vacuum at idle would only exacerbate the problem.

If you're going to use Uberdata do it correctly from the start. Use a wideband and vacuum gauge (or datalogging) to calibrate the fuel delivery in the idle cells and street tune. Forego using the SAFC.
