Default Anyone else running 36-42lb@58psi injectors?

Quick question, if you hit the rev limiter does your car act like a normal stock LS1 when you do that or does it load up like crazy and even stall out the car? Does it backfire?

Mine are about 50 lb at 58 psi. It acts normal when it hits the limiter.

Mine is not... I definitely have some sort of ignition problem, I had a retired perf shop guy look my old dyno sheets and he said the gaps in the torque reading were from the ignition cutting out.

I'm hooking up with a perf-oriented dealer tech I know who has been working on cars for 18 years so we can solve the problem.

I had 36lb SVOs, no difference from stock when tagging the limiter.

Nick and Wade from ARE have both spent a lot of time with me on the fone, and they sent me a new fuel pump which I have installed. If I had a truck'n trailer I would bring it up and those guys would probably figure it out in a few hours.

CMarsh, FYI, the guy who was at our dyno was named Wes, he used to co-own a shop in TX called Area 51 Performance. He lives up here now and happened to stop by... Since he was free I had him ride 'gun with me...

Maybe it's a PCM tuning issue? When did the problem start?
