Default Tuning help!

My tuner is busy and I just swapped blowers on my Z06.
Not sure of the safety of WOT! Am I overly nervous or will the tune be close enough. It was tuned with a Halltech and headers stock 1740 blower. Only change is the switch to the TVS 2300.

I would stay on the side of caution. I've read lots of your threads on the work you've done on your cars. Easy to torch a engine with the wrong tune. BUT I guess it would be a good excuse to build a new one

I agree you might be ok at mid throttle where the fuel trims will do their best to keep up but at WIDE open throttle you are in open loop and solely dependent on the tune

Not worth burning it up
