Looking to find people who run 42 lb injectors with no tune and how the idle is. I'm going to be tuning my car myself, still saving up for the PMS system. For now it will be a wideband and an AFPR

Do you have a meter calibrated for the 42# injectors? Are you running N/A or blown?

My brother-in-law's GT is a 306, 42lb injectors, 255 pump, t-rex inline pump, 42lb injectors, Edelbrock Performer, 14lb Vortech, Anderson cam (can't remember which one) and it smells rich at an idle, but idle quality is really pretty good. Not much different than my setup's idle.

That is what I usually see as well, little rich at idle even with good o2's.

My idle wasn't that great for the two days i had it running, but i didn't have any o2 sensors hot starts were also a PITA.
