i understand its bad... i know its bad lol. but it can be done if someone doesnt have ecuflash/evoscan/etc
best thing would be to install them right before your tune at the place you are getting tuned. i dont happen to have any logging/flashing tools, so i installed mine the morning of and stayed under 3000k the whole way there.

Most reputable tuners will not tune a car if they are not in front of it. I had the same issue, and I had to work on my cold start for a whole day in order to get her started and be able to drive to CT this coming Sunday.

We don't recommend driving a modded car on upgraded injectors any length of time. I always either send my customers a base tune so they can drive to me for the full tune or ask them to bring the injectors to be installed when they arrive.

FIC 1050 single walbro
e85 440awhp 90% IDC 12.0AFR
that's going to be cutting it pretty close with a 1050cc on e85 but it will work. If you foresee making more power than that with another turbo someday then I suggest the FIC 1450cc and if you can spend a little more for the newer style High Impedance injectors then the FIC 1680 would be great.

here's an example that should help:

yeah the FIC 1450's are good stuff, we used to do a lot of PTE 1200 for that hp range but they don't start as well. I don't think the three huge nostrils on them atomize the fuel well.
We've swapped over our 3 shop cars to FIC 2150's for e85 and never looked back.

FIC 2150 dual walbro
e85 655awhp 54-55% IDC 12.1AFR
fp black @ 40psi
FIC 2150 dual walbro
e85 590awhp 50% IDC 11.8AFR
fp black @ 31psi
2 from my car above. I think its interesting the idc is only 4-5% different from 9psi more boost. granted the afr is .3 richer but still.. not much difference.
I think fic bluemax 1450 would be plenty for my setup, the 2150 are just overkill.

yep and plenty of room to grow should you need 800+awhp later on. It's truly the first/last injector purchase anyone needs to make. Eventually that entry price may come down.
