USPS may have failed me, again

The LQ9 is going in tomorrow and the PCM was supposed to arrive today. Will the stock 4.8 pcm being to run it ok? I'll need to drive it about 250 miles. Thanks.

You might want to up the fuel pressure a couple psi. It'll be a little safer. Keep it at part throttle too.
