I'm the one Bryan (GST Motorsports) is referring to. The FIC 1450's on the car and the trims are spot on. It took me a lot logging and driving time to dial them in since I didn't have any base scaling/latency values to work with.
Drivability is like stock with one exception. While barely applying pressure on the gas pedal during cruising speeds, the AFR would jump around between low 14's to high 14's. It's not like closed loop searching, it's more like the big injectors are giving too much fuel. Give it more pressure and the bouncing goes away.
This really isn't an issue to me though since they're perfect otherwise.

Just installed the Bluemax 1450's in my car. They fit easier than PTE injectors. With some input from Bryan the car started right up and is idling nicely on pump gas. I'll be checking the trims starting tomorrow. So far so good.
The spray pattern looks like a single large opening, it's not an array of small holes like the PTE 880's I took out.

I plan on using them on my new setup this summer. I am really liking the fact that FIC gave us more in-between sizes! Its nice to know that if 1200's don't work, there is no need to jump straight to 1600's. I can see the 1350 and 1450 becoming very popular for small-mid sized turbos and E85.
