This is not the first time I have heard of this happening in the upper RPMs. Could they not tune it better?

They said they tried everything and just could not get it to add more fuel in those upper RPMS

I'll try to post graphs tonight so guys get a better idea.
who did the tuning ????

No way you should have run out of fuel at that level of power with the 440 ijectors

Tell them to send you a copy of your R4 file . We can look at it and see if they have the numbers as high as it can go .

Could you to the Turbonetics mod with the Vortech? What is the Phunk mod as well?

Is the only downside of 80psi idle bad mpg?

Are you talking about a ECU flash like Technosquare? How bad would it be if you didn't get the flash and only relied on the SS box to scale for 440cc injectors? How are you running your setup currently and how is driveability?

Power looks good , but the A/F is getting pretty lean after 6000rpm . And could be smoothed out mid range where the two dips are

Yes, I am. The problem is that the SS box works only when in boost. Any other time, you'd be using the stock ECU to control fuel. That stated, the stock ECU would be running the 440s as if they were the stock ones and you'd end up getting worse idle and running rich. You'd want to get the flash to have the stock ECU run the 440s correctly.

I have the 440s sitting here waiting for the install. I will be doing those once the Cosworth manifold comes in. At that point, I will be doing a flash and then retuning the car.
