I wouldn't go WOT or go heavy in the throttle. I'd guess the blower kit the OP got didn't come with a tune since he got it used, and surely the stock tune + any blower wouldn't be a good idea to run WOT...unless I'm really wrong.

I'd play it safe and not hit the gas but baby it to a tuner's shop.

Whatever you do, do NOT go into boost.

Since you have a centri, you do not really begin to build boost until around 3000rpm. Keep your foot out of it and keep it under 2500rpm and you will be fine getting to the tuner.

Sounds like he already did it to me guys..

+1 on staying out of boost. Even without a tune at all it might start and idle, but I would not be driving it around at all without at least a base tune. It SHOULD be about the same when its not in boost... but you never know.

If he changed the injectors you wont be able to drive w/o a base tune. It will be so rich you will mess up plugs fast. If you MUST drive to the tuners then put stock injectors back in & dont go over 2500-3000 RPMs.
