So, where do I send injectors out to get flow tested? I'm guessing that if this is what I am supposed to do I will miss my dyno session.......and my car for a month or two.
Like I said, I wish Justin would better explain what the problem may be, and what exactly he wants me to do about it. 4 line emails are not really helping me out.

*hangs head is dissapointment.........*


Just ask your shop - there are lot's of places that flow test and match and it only takes an hour or so. I would stil keep your dyno session as Dex suggested and see if it more of an 02 problem...

You know of someone that can lend you 39lbs injectors? You could ask your shop if they have some unused ...  just swap them all and try them and see if thats the problem.

I'm in Canada, not the US.........we don't have stuff like you guys do, and there are very few supercharged stangs around. I'll just have to hold on till the 15th for the dyno session, ground the car till then.  I'm going to die young with this eating me up, I tell you.
First my 8 month ordeal with my wheels, then FedEx keeping my supercharger for a month, and now this.....nothing seems to go right with this project.

*seriously annoyed............*

Thanks, means a lot.  I appretiate the advice guys, and giving me room to vent. Once this is over, I'll burn some rubber just for you all.
Though I don't know what I am going to do.  The dyno shop is just that, dyno. they don't build cars or do any work on them........so when i go, and we do find a problem........what am I going to do with the car? Its an hour away........

Local tuner says the fuel trims are way off, and the load is to low vs other Whipple kits he has done. Says possible mechanical issue, or tune issue........and since Justin noticed the fuel trims....perhaps it is just injectors.

Sure hope it doesn't blow up during the drive to the dyno or muffler shop (for weld-boss)

I don't think thats really an option.  I'd rather blow the thing up, and then burn it. It's only money............

It sounds like your tune is whacked.. I told you my car leaned out in high rpms..With the bigger injectors you gotta have a custom tune.. I'd consider getting it dyno'd sooner to smooth your tune a little...

Whats wrong with rednecks? Around here mustangs are a redneck car. Yall dont have skid trucks (roll backs)? Thats what I used to haul mine 65 miles when the turbo went goofy.

lol wanna hear my story? i got my car back 2 weeks ago and i started my "2 week project" in september. Still isnt tuned either! I had to pull the motor twice, buy another $900 crank, and pay for machine work twice, went through 2 turbo systems, found out the timing was done wrong, etc...

I can write a book....

Dont worry bro, you will get it figured out. Consider yourself lucky you have a local tuner to help you out. Justin from Florida is flying into Utah to help tune our cars out here.  Not to take away from your agony or feelings but just letting you know it could be worse.

I was actually going to post something smarta$$ because you have a whipple, but I really hope you get your issue resolved, I know how it is when something is not right and you are hunting for answers, good luck I hope you find them.

 Pulling the injectors, looking today for a place to bench flow test them, and if there is a problem I will be rush ordering a new set in time for the Dyno-Tune.
I'll probably order the Ford Racing 39# injectors as replacements.

I'm pretty sure whipple uses the 38lb injectors because of their height.  you might run into clearance problems with the intake tube with the 39lb ford racing injectors.  You also need to adjust the tune when changing to a larger injector, obviously.
