No, you have this wrong. A "safe" tune is one where the tuner is using a little extra fuel to prevent the car from running too lean and causing engine damage.

Adding bigger injectors will do nothing to help you unless you add more air into engine. To add more air you need to get a supercharger, different heads or reduce restrictions to increase flow. Until one of those things are done bigger injectors will not help.

Sounds good Im happy with it now, but my tune was only $350 and only $150 for a retune any time later on. But Im going to save that for when I get my nitrous working again couldnt get it to hit on the dyno so gotta go back.
