Default Idle Tuning

I thought you fellers would like to see what I've been up against trying to get my truck to idle. I put these injectors in two years ago with my new engine, and I've always thought all of my idle problems were due to my cam, even though the cam was supposed to idle almost as good as stock. I found one exhaust valve chocolate-brown colored, the rest were white. I decided to get the injectors cleaned and tested while the engine was apart, and this is the test result:

What do you use to check each injector individually?

I have the same injectors, only I got a flow matched set. I had a hell of time tuning mine till I got some good #'s for them. What cam are you running Mike?

These are a "flow matched set", too. In my case, I guess flow matched means that the reseller usually gets lucky when they grab eight out of the bin.
My cam's specs include these numbers: 222, 224, .566, .568, and 115 LSA.
