i did use heat shrink tubing on the resistor connections except maybe the one or two i forgot to slide the ---- on..haha but i'm pretty good at wiring stuff up i know my connections shouldn't be the problem, and i do have a resistor box, but my wiring harness for the injectors is under the manifold and its a bitch to get to!! i spent about 15 minutes trying to unplug that thing and decided to go with inline resistors... i bought some plugs that i'll be getting tomorrow ngk 1283 that i will try gapping a little smaller .028 i had tried it at .030 but i think the plugs were already fouled... i won't be able to do anything tonight though i have school but thank you for all the help and suggestions so far, i'll also check the ecu chip..

I read the whole post and the problem seems to come from the ecu.

that sounds like a ---- basemap thrown together for ricers

talk to xenocron and order a basemap burned on a chip from him

haha yep its the ecu. i emailed the guy last night that i bought it from and he said it was set up for stock injectors... so i just sent him an email asking if he could get a chip set up for 450cc injectors because i would think using stock injectors and running somewhere near 6-8psi i would have a lean condition... thanks again for the help!!

no just set the boost as low as possible to avoid being lean, and stay off the gas pedal till you get it fixed

does it sputter or act like its wants to start over at all. id say that the ecu was chipped for smaller or stock injectores thats why it would support 8 pounds without mods. put the stock injectors in and then try. or get a new basemap from someone on here, that one might be fucked up or something
