Default Can a Mopar Performance ECU run my stroker?

My B&G ECU will have to be sent in for a retune. (new cam coming) I have a 408 with stock cam and 28.5lbs injectors and bigger R/T heads.
Can I put my MP ECU on and run my truck (95 with OBD1) while the ECU is away getting a re-tune?

It might run it, but, my guess would be: Not very well..... It isn't going to know about the bigger cubes, or the injectors, etc.... you might run excessively lean.....

Not having a wideband would make me nervous. This is also another good reason to run a standalone computer.

Give up on B&G....I have over 1K in flashes/reflashes with those guys, and they never did get it right

Get an SCT from Hemifever and be happy.

But...You have to data log for anyone to get the tune right...No way around it.
