You need a chip, I wouldn't even start my motor untill I had a baseline mail order bin (or chip in your case) If you end up way lean it can cause dammage and if you end up too rich you could wash the rings out. If I where you and had just droped all that $$$ in the motor I would spens a little more and get a base line chip then get TTS data master and a cable if posible and logg data as soon as you start it up.

Go to the dyno guys, have them prepare the baseline chip for the drive over.
