Default Can I floor It?

I got my installed LGM G5X3 114lsa and LGM lontubes etc
I have about 150miles on it. i'm now starting to tune drivability, so i'm logging it, fuel trims is on the money. logging knock etc
only problem is I dont have my wideband installed yet and curious to floor it. its not tuned yet. will the ECM compensate for the extra airflow so it wont run lean?
I mean it works for dry shots

I'm sure it will be fine. A Chevy dealer deleted my tune and I've gunned it a few times without ill effect and I have a pretty extreme cam, heads, LG's, 408ci etc etc. Runs a bit on the rich side but it works. I'd maybe wait for a more experienced person to confirm. But generally I think you'd just be running on the rich side and not getting all your ponies worth out it.


On another note I see you're from WPB, a few other vettes (~50 or so) are cruising down to Pompano. See the thread below, if you're free 8/5 (this sunday) we're meeting at the Lake Worth Service plaza on the turnpike to head on down.

Don't worry, it's not a DSM (sorry I had too...), just log and monitor everything and you should be good.

Wait, what was the question again?
