9th Injector - Really need it?
Looking at installing a set of Edelbrock TPI tubes and the set availble doesn't have the hole for the 9th injector. So two choices are available. Discard the injector, or drill a hole. Drilling a hole is no big deal. But disabling the 9th injector might be a problem.
Anyone have experience with the later?
Opinions? I know everyone has one of those...

Street and Performance carries such delete kits. I deleted mine when I went to the SuperRam. The car does now take a couple extra turns of the key to start when cold. It starts on one crank when it's warm. Reprogramming your chip may help but I'm not possitive about that one. Check with Jesse.

I would try the ARAP bin. It was supposedly the most aggressive chip (I've seen this posted on different forums over the years) that GM produced for the early MAF cars. I had my tuner user the ARAP bin as the starting point for my custom chip for this reason.

Tunercat has added the ability to edit the cold start values WITHOUT a 9th injector to the $32b code that 87/88 use. I have not checked $32 fo '86, but I can only imagine that they could add it easily if it isn't there yet.
So, yes, assuming TC can pop the fields in there for you if they haven't already then disabling the 9th will cause a couple extra turns to start when cold (it isn't much), but it your chip can be modified to help eliminate that delay.
Anyone using ARAP just keep in mind that was for Automatics. There was a 6-speed version as well, but I forget the BCC for it at the moment.

This is most interesting. I have a copy of ARAP from the DIY FTP site. I'll give it a try. Thanks

I recall seeing some plugs with orings, which seems to be the simplest method.
