You engine's going to run rich, hurting your fuel mileage and performance and possibly fouling out your plugs over time; you programming needs to be adjusted to let the computer know you're running bigger injectors.

DONT do it, you WILL wash the cylinders down and go right past the rings into the crankcase. Trust me just get a tune for the 30's and put them in the same time the tune comes.

yea wait till you can tune it. I always wondered though how people did it...do they drive to the dyno or tuner with them out then put them in there?? Or is it alright to just drive a little ways with them at part throttle.
