very true, jus dont kno if id want to take such drastic measures when the builds in the beginning stages-- imo

true but kevin isn't staying idle if you'll notice, he's upgrading quickly and there's no point in buying multiple injectors and wasting your money by taking a loss each time you need to upgrade. Do it once and do it right

I totally agree. I wish I had my mind right and consulted someone with the background and knowledge such as Mellon prior to my mod-madness.. I could've saved a bundle.. Anyway, keep it coming.. This is getting quite good..

Its a lot better since the we messed with the injector latencies the second time. Turns out 1200cc injectors are a little finicky. Startup can be a little rough sometimes though... By slightly pushing in the gas pedal and cranking helps it start up.

There are several other tables that need to be adjusted besided scaling and latency for larger injectors to get them to start properly, both cold and warm.

If you need to use the gas pedal during starting, it sounds like maybe those tables weren't adjusted.
