Patience guys, Rome wasn't built in a day, and the tuning won't be completed either. You have to remember that Gavin has to invest $$$ into dyno time and fit in to the shop's dyno schedule. I very much doubt he can show up whenever he wants and have at it. This is probably why days go by without an update; I imagine he has to wait sometimes too.

However, Gavin can you share any info on injectors you've chosen? Size/Capacity or Brand? I'm hoping you're going the route of 6 new injectors vs. having 1 or 2 "add-ons". Idea of what kind of duty-cycle they'll be running?

What about the blower itself? Will it run along with the accessories belt or will it have it's own dedicated belt with a new crank pulley? (I wish this was the case, but i'm thinking not). Any chance you can re-design the stock crank pulley to accommodate the additional belt? No need to underdrive the accessories, and I certainly don't like doing it with the crank pulley either. I know I'm probably getting out of control here, but if you have the ability to go that route, maybe you'll go nuts and create a clutched supercharger pulley to conserve cruising gas mileage... I know, I'm dreaming...

EDIT: Just went back on FB to get caught up, never mind about the 6 vs. add-on injectors. That being said, I'm assuming there is no way to have 6 larger injectors putting out the same output as the OE 6 + your 2 add-ons? This would likely need custom tuning, correct?
