I am almost done putting my 6 bolt back together after a rebuild however I can only find 3 of my 450 injectors. I have evo injectors as well as a safc to be installed, but I haven't ever used a safc before. I had planned on running everything stock for the break in, but was toying with the idea of running the 550 evo injectors, because I heard it should run ok. What I am wondering is if it would be a real bad idea to run a little rich for the break in period with the evo injectors?
 
if you run too rich you may wash the rings with gas and they will not seat.... as far as the 550 doing that I can not say
 
Thanks, that's very good information, I had looked at one of those links before, but I am worried that I'm only going to be running about 10 psi for the break in on my 16g with 550s, and it says that I should make an 18% air flow correction. I'm wondering if that is too little since I will be running low boost. I'm assuming these are starting points anyway and are rich. I know every car is different but from experience would you take more fuel away? or should 18 be a good number to run with on initial start up?
