If you installed the 42lb injectors without doing any tuning for them.. that is more than likely your problem.

Put your old injectors back in until you get the tuning done for the bigger injectors.

I wouldnt drive around too much with the 42#'s in the car. You will kill the plugs and possibly hurt the rings.
Change the plugs before you dyno, they will definitely be toast.

Cheers,
Chris

The injectors can be tuned in to work fine, and the Bosch plugs suck. Buy some NGK TR-55 if you are straight motor or TR-6's if your gunna spray. And don't drive it anymore until it's tuned.

Dont drive the car till you get in it to drive to the dyno.

Ideally throw in the new plugs when you arrive at the dyno and throw a base tune for the 42#'ers in the car. Then do your pulls and see how everything looks. Doesn't take long to kill a set of plugs with those big injectors

Cheers,
Chris

I'd say put back in the stock injectors,TR6 plugs and change your TNT dry kit to a wet kit.Problems solved.
