Thanks dcb, Did you find anything wrong with my computational comparison between injector actual and computed? I feel I must be doing something wrong in computing the injector flow rate to be off that far.
Either that or I am getting confused by number of injectors versus cylinders. I know most of you guys are running smaller cars where you have 1 injector per cylinder, which is most often 4 to 4. But I am running 2 injectors for 8 cylinders. Seems to me that should figure into the math somehow but I haven't quite figured out how.
