running rich after new intake for all those that have done the swap out there, im running pretty rich after the swap, and i was just curious if that was because the ls6 injectors are slightly bigger. i triple and quadruple checked everthing, everythings good. am i correct in my assumption that i need to get the injector scaling tuned and thats why im so rich?
Correct. It is the injectors, and I would drive the car as little as possible in this state, as it's likely you're dumping excess fuel down the cylinder walls, which will dilute the oil and eventually damage the engine.

Running rich and excessive oil consumption Since swapping my LS4 intake for an LS6 intake and injectors I appear to be running rich as well, however I am also experiencing are extraordinarily high oil consumption I can't seem to diagnose. I have no oil leaks, no cloud of exhaust smoking, did a compression test and if doesn't appear to be a blown head gasket. Can running rich cause and oil thinning to the point of high oil consumption?
