Default Tune Help PLEASE

Hey Guys

I am about almost done installing a Novi 2000 with 30 pound injectors into my 91 mustang LX 5 speed car and I was just wandering if there is anything that I could do to my car to make it run good before I get it tune? I need to save other $800 to tune it… Have also have a lot of small thing to on my car like: GT40 heads cast iron, ford racing GT 40 intake, E303 ford racing cam, Full Exhaust,190 in-take fuel pump, under drive pulleys, 76mm C&L meter, MSD box, Auto lights 24 plugs, timing at 10* and using 91 octane fuel.

If you guys could let me know that would be great….

Thanks

You have a bunch of modifications including forced induction, if you cannot at the very least tell what your a/f ratio is, I can't even recommend running the car aside from directly to the tuners. More details would help for sure, for example is the maf calibrated for 30?

I have an E-cam in mine but I am NA and it was abit twitchy to get it to idle half decently.

Ditto, and def take off the underdrives. They are not recommended for blower applications.
