Wow, that sucks.
My $0.02 is to run 60lb injectors for a STS. I had 42's. Wasn't really adequate for the top end. 60's were fine.
Concerning tuning, I always wanted my AFR set no more than 11.0 to 1 on the dyno. Unless it's a load bearing dyno, the car will run a bit leaner on the street. End result is a 11.4 to 11.6 to 1 AFR.

A good sd tune is great.......but it wont save you when things go wrong, and they do. Bad fuel, dieing fp, leaking regulator, bad injector, oil leaking in from a turbo seal lowering the effective octane. Things happen, seeing it coming gives you a slighty better chance.

What size fuel injectors should i upgrade the car with 60lb injectors dont you think that would be a little much for the car at idle?
