Default Returning L98 Back to N/A?

Before I left the country I finished putting a powerdyne bd11a on my '88 and didnt get a chance to get a dyno tune. I changed to Accel 30lb injectors in the process.
Now Im considering taking the blower off when I get back and running the engine N/A until I can get another engine built. My question is with the 30lb injectors in, would that alone make the engine run richer? Its a stock L98 with no other mods to the engine itself besides the bigger injectors.

pig rich

either need a chip done up or swap back to stock injectors

if you have to get it tuned either way...i'd just leave the blower on...

at low boost it likely won't seriously curb the life of the motor...

the main thing I was worrying about was whether the powerdyne with its crappy reputation would be worth it to get a tune-Id hate to shell out a few more hundred for a dyno tune just for the supercharger to go out a lil while later.

I have a Powerdyne on my 86. I had a company called Performance Bearing custom build ceramic bearings for mine. Cost about $350 but no bearing worries.

A lot of people have had trouble with Powerdyne and a lot of people have had no problem at all.
