I just installed a procharger on a stock ls1 c5 with 48lb injectors. My question is can I start it and drive it up on to a trailer. Cause I'am taking it all the way to lubbock to TSP for a tune and I wanna make sure everything is working before I take it!

Yup, hell you could drive it there as long as you stay out of boost. Just heads up we have a F/I section. Happy hunting in Mexico .

Nope unless it was tuned for the 48# injectors......
The simple way would be to put the stock injectors back in and drive it that way just stay out of boost.

I'd drive it but thats me. How about taking the couple tools you need with the 48# injectors and swap them when you get there? If you drive like a old lady it'll stay under vacuum.

doubt it will run with 48# injectors and a stock tune.. My other car started and barly moved when i went from 24lb to 42lb... MAYBE enough to get on a trailer but i doubt it would have made it up the ramp, it would idle in gear is all it would do. put the stockers in and swap when you get to the tuner, its a EASY swap and can be done in like 5 min.

Honestly, injectors are such an easy swap you could drive it there on stock injectors, staying out of boost, and have them swap injectors on the dyno for you. If you're paying $500+ for a tune, most tuners won't blink at taking 10 minutes to swap to different injectors for you.

Save yourself time and gas not having to trailer it.
