Default LASER CUT DV's

When i bought the truck, the guy gave me a set of laser cut dv's with the truck... With the mods I have would it be safe to put them in right now? or should i wait until I have gauges and have the 4k GSK and valve springs in, and my timing advanced to 17?
OR buy a set of 191 dv's?? Im on a budget right now

Any input would be HUGE! Thanks y'all!

Gauges!

If it were me, I wouldn't even drive that truck again without at least a pyro.

Glad to hear it.

You really need to know what your EGTs are, especially with the mods already done. You could probably still drive it, but you need to baby it until you know what's going on in there.
