Don't know if this will work or not, but try it.

Remove the blue o-ring from the top of the injector. Remove the o-ring from the spacer. If the inside diameter is close, swap them and try running the spacer above the injector.

It may not work, but I think it's worth a try. Just be careful to not damage any of the o-rings.

Already tried. The spacers won't even fit in the fuel rail. And even with the green o ring the injector just falls out. I'm ordering some 1/2 spacers form injectorconnection. Hope they get here soon. I really wanna go wot. Lol. At 55% throttle it'll be about 4200 rpm and I'm seeing 4-5 psi and it moves. On my one wot log I gwen it shifting at 5500, saw about 9psi, idc was at 150%, I know I know but afr was still 11.9. Would the 65 lb injectors be able to take me there? I'm hoping so for now. Or sell the 65 and get some 96lb injectors. Lol

Haha, well don't get too impatient and go lean in boost. That won't end well, unless you just need an excuse to go forged.....

Is your fuel pressure maintaining when you're seeing 150% IDC? ****, I thought my 105% IDC was bad.......

Fuel pressure was around 52-53 psi. Before it was around 55 psi. Its hard to tell since my system is non referenced and the vette filter causes the fuel pressure to drop slightly during wot.

At least the pressure is staying up, and that's a good thing!

We all know your injectors are too small, and the 65#'ers are a big step up. Just need to get them in there & find out where you stand.

yea. The fuel is a racetronix 255lph. Do you remember what Andys IDC was? I would like to shift it around 6300-6400. should be around 11-12 psi.

Was in the 90's% at 5800-ish in 1st gear. IIRC, was 10-12 psi at that point. Was able to go a little higher rpm in 2nd and 3rd.

I may be interested in your injectors when you're done with them. They're a direct drop-in for me
