More tuning. Sounds like you don't have a tune for the injectors...

Do you have bigger injectors in there? You said you have a baseline tune. What was done in the tune? And 2-3 tuners looked at a baseline tune?

stock factory injectors...baseline consisted of tuning idle air flow etc for ms3....someone told me its possibly a bad engine ground causing injectors to go into max effort

Stock injectors... okay so no tuning done on them.

MAF or SD tune?

Any codes?

Did you check the three ground wires on the back of the head?

Get the thing to a proper LS dyno tuner or your engine is going to be trashed.

might be little in left field but when i did my swap i forgot to tighten the bolt for the ground near the passenger headlight left of the air lid and every time i flash my high beams my fuel pump would shut off. Just make sure all grounds are tightened up or unplug your maf and see how that works out.

Don't drive another Inch, you are washing the cylinder walls if there's gas "flooding" as you say.. Say goodbye to the new engine if you keep trying to drive it..

Tow it to a competent tuner
