What have you done to your fuel system? Stock/Racetronix?

If you haven't changed anything fuel related other than the injectors, it must be the tune.

I would say you've got too much fuel (obvious i know), try lowering the fuel pressure, see if that helps.

if not id call your tuner and make sure they adjusted for the injectors, your car wont be able to fix that much differnece in injector by itself, it would require tunning which you already said you got.

You havent said, but Im assuming the car ran fine, and then you added the injectors and it didnt run well any longer?

thats right... car was running perfect... decided i wanted to put a dry kit on it so i upgraded the injectors b/c of the demand for more fuel. now after having the computer retuned for the injectors and a little timing took out for the dry kit... it runs like ***

id call the tunner, it sounds like they have messed something up

did you swap the injectors at the shop right before the tune?

heres what I dont understand, if they tunned it for 42's and you went home on the stockers it should have ran bad too, then you swap in the 42's and it runs good/better.
but if it ran fine on the stockers, and then bad on the 42's i wouldnt think they actually tuned it for the 42's, it should have been way lean to the point of being dangerous with the smaller injectors in it.

if you did change them there at the shop while they were tunning, whyd you leave without it running right?

ok.. the car was already tuned for the cam/headers/ory/blablabla earlier this year.. ran perfect...

decided to do the injector swap so i got a mailorder tune for the injectors/cam/headers/ory/blablabla. put the injectors in.. uploaded the tune.. cranked the car and runs like ****... i didn't have the money nor the time to take it to a dyno to get it tuned there.
