Alright, gotta question. I want to swap in the 450s since the 550s that are in there now, in an untuned engine (wish I could afford it!), suck down waaay too much gas.
So, here we go:
16G
2G MAF
K&N
DeJon Tool UICP
Walbro/Equivalent 255 LPH
Only run 91 octane

I can't tune the engine on my own given it's winter and would be a bitch with the roads as they are, the cold, a vacuum leak, and a cracked manifold. I'd have time to swap the injectors, but don't have the time, nor the garage space right now, and even less money to get everything else up to par. So I'm looking for a decent quick fix that will allow me to save money in the future because of the damned gas mileage.
Anyways, question is, would I run a bit too lean with the 450s and the 16G? I've heard both ways, with different set ups and the same set up, so that's why I'm rather concerned.
Got Link and A'Pexi wideband to monitor just in case it does start pinging or going lean.
