Whatever you have to tell yourself. The above post was total sarcasm about 2 injectors per cylinder. I know that it has 4! Are you that thick headed? I know my car has 8 injectors now though. Thanks for informing me.

and a ?
Why tune A/R in the 10's? Even for a FI car, thats a little overboard.

It really does, larger injectors aren't as friendly for drive ability. Hell my stock injectors are ~52lb/hr.

I was not calling you ignorant becuase of that statement more of the fact of saying a car should not do something it does without doing any research. Just becuase i dont drive an f body doesn't mean i dont know dick about them its really simple

Thats gm for you they love to leave things rich.

Factory tunes on FI cars are always that rich for safety. For instance, skittles run in the 10's at WOT. When we override them, we shoot for 11.5 afr. If you are pushing it, richer is always better. You can make up the difference in power by raising the boost while being safe.

Oh, my bad. The neons are designed to run rich, so they are in no danger there (10.5 or so) either on the stock or stage kit tunes. Now if some dumbtard tries to tune it too rich with high boost, yeah, that can be bad.
