Exclamation Tuning question?

Ok here's my problem: I just had my car dynotuned by Bryan Herter last summer and before I went I asked him if I should buy a new AC delco MAF or would My granatelli (pos) be ok. He said since we would have it on the dyno he could program it and it would be fine with the gms Maf.

So when I arrive to be dyno tuned He is like oh I wish you didn't have that sensor on there. I was like what????? I would have gladly spent the 150 bux on a new sensor before the tune but he was apparently trying to save me some money????

So then Bryan says we'll just tune it and it'll be fine...He soon realizes that calibration in the gms maf is way off so he says we'll just fake out the pcm by telling it you have 30# injectors even though you're still running the factory 24#

OK ON TOO THE POINT;
I now have a crapped out gms MAF and I want to install a new ac delco MAF. I don't want to have to shell out the dough for another dyno tune and drive 300 miles to do so again, so could I just install a set of 30# injectors and the new MAF and the tune still be dead on or close?

I installed My buddys MAF just to see what would happen and my blms in cell 16 are left 144 right 142 but that is with the stock injectors. would this be close if I installed 30# injectors?

This may sound like a confusing post so if something needs explained just say so. Thanks for any help

the injector constant would be pretty easy to change. tuner cat works 30 for free the ee def file is $20, win flash $20, $90 cable. it would be easier and cheaper than injectors.

I have cable and laptop already (no tuner cat tho) but my injectors are at their limits now. My car is a auto and it put down 370 rwhp NA and Ive read on hear that anything over 450 flywheel and you are playing with fire. I run a 150 shot of NX also so I don't need any lean conditions if ya know what I mean

So will this work? since it wouldn't hurt for me to have a nice set of Racetronix 32# injectors anyway
