Default Power Commander V

My power commander V came in but my big sucker hasn't yet. I already have the bassani prostreets installed...i'm sure I'm running lean. Do you think it would be a bad idea to install the Power command V before the Big Sucker comes in? Is it going to hurt to run rich? Thanks for your help as always.

Scott

Scott, go ahead and install it. I would download a new map that matches the current setup though until you get the big sucker in and then reload the previous map.

To answer your question about running rich, it depends on how rich it goes. Too much fuel and you run the risk of washing down the cylinders.
