I grabbed a set of those Densos for Jim, and am now returning them for the NGKs. Dont want to say that Ben was a guiney pig, but it was a good thing he tried them before Jim installed them on his car.

Honestly I have not touched it yet but I figured out why I was having trouble, it was definitely your map sensor scaling in ecuflash was not actually changing, even though it showed it was, if that makes any sense.. I am hoping to have it for you before the end of the weekend. I haven't been home before 11 all week and I start at 8am

xpehbam did you recently go SD? I had a similar problem and maybe it's what you're experiencing as well. Plugs helped a bit but I also had to apply the mrfred XML fixes and one of them worked (don't remember which but I think it was #2). There's a weird breakup that occurs from injector pulse width dropout on the speed density rom generally around 2000-3000 RPM. I had it all through the rev range though at part throttle. It's annoying as hell trying to accelerate into traffic and getting only a sputter unless you go WOT.
