You must get it tuned Stop driving it

Just because you have 60# injectors does not mean it will be ok
You will break your motor if you keep driving it like that.

those bigger injectors are throwing more fuel, you need to tune it down

Those plugs are not what I would consider to be overly rich. A wideband is a must for FI.

What can happen? You can "wash" the cylinder walls with raw fuel removing any lubrication and destroy your top end....

IMO i would stop driving the truck until you can get it retuned, your risking serious damage to the NEW motor.... what all mods have you added since your last tune?
