Yes. I also like to look at the piston surface.

Welcome to cars. If there's anything else you need disillusioning about, let me know. I'm chock full of bitter wisdom.

I get what you are saying.

So, what would you prefer for this setup? 4 larger injectors, or an extra injector?

Lets say price wasnt an issue, and the same ecu/piggyback has the ability either option, so the tuning process would be the same.

I swear by individual cylinder trims. Being able to add a percent or two fuel, or yank a half a degree timing, to individual cylinders is vital for optimum performance AND longevity.

Re: quick question on what to use

Yea from what i was reading on them some people used them in some high hp setups and they worked well and thats how they said to set it up on the sds website. it sounds easy and effective thats why i figured it would be a good way to go.
