Starting the 406 first time
OK, i am still a week or three out from running my new 406. My concern is that the chip will be way off and will make the rings seal poorly from being too rich. Is this a concern? How would I make a "best guess" chip?

For break-in, I say go with stock 19 or 22lb injectors until you can get your chip in-tune. Stay at low rpm and under half throttle.

Yeah, I have eprom stuff. But all I can do is really guess before I start the engine. I don't know how critical it is to have the a/f close on initial start up. I doubt I can guess like ed wright can either. I need the crutch of scanning and logging! Thanks
