Still having issues after Procharger install
Maybe an injector you have is bad....? Try swapping back the stock injectors.....might be a pain, but seems like the next step
Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? Is that reading like it should?

Can I swap the stock injectors back in without changing the tune? Obviously I wouldn't drive it around like that, but would it be safe to even start it?
Fuel pressure reads 62 on the Autometer electric gauge.

Is there any way to test the injectors, or have them tested? The problem I foresee is putting the stock tune and stock injectors back on there and it running fine...then not knowing if the tune was the problem, or if it was the injectors. Obviously I'd lean toward the injectors, since Steve has gone over this tune numberous times, but I surely hate to spend another $275-$300 on injectors and have the same problems.

Verdad Gallardo The fuel system is the stock setup with the exception of the Warlboro 255, Racetronix hotwire kit, and 60lb injectors. From everything I've read on this forum, it's not unusual to push 62-64psi fuel pressure after doing a Warlboro/hotwire install. I mentioned it to Steve @ Frost and he didn't seem concerned with it.

The fuel pressure holds steady at 62 psi the entire time while running? Might want to look into getting a new set of 60lb injectors.....not really sure.....but Steve (Frost) got a procharged 408 F1-c car with 80lb injectors to start up and drive around without seeing car......If he says the tune is fine, it's not the tune so don't waste time thinking its the tune......you must have a mechanical problem

Alright, quick question on these injectors. I just pulled my 60s out and compared them with my stockers...the stockers have a brownish-clear plastic ring underneath the O-ring that seats into the manifold, and the 60s don't. Was I supposed to transfer those plastic rings over? Or do the 60s just not come with them?

Wait, are you talking about the black rubber O-ring? I have those, but there's a plastic disc at the bottom of the stock injector, underneath the black rubber O-ring. Was I supposed to have that on the 60s?
