FMS 24#'s rule!!!
Already my average milage is better than the old stock injectors - which had some clogged ones, and I have a better idle. With the AFPR I've solved my rich problem too, now I must make sure I don't lean out the mixture.
Thanks everyone who steered me in the FMS and Holley direction :D

Great work! Yeah they make for a nice upgrade.
I do hate to burst your bubble though with the gas mileage though. Do to the fact that your injector constant is still set at 22 and you have 24 now, you calculation for your gas mileage by the car will be off.
You can verify what I am saying by making a note of your mileage at the next fillup, and then record your next fillup. Do the math and you will see what your really averaging.
This gets everyone! It shows I am getting 28MPG. My frequent fillups tell me different. :lol:
Great job though!

Since you have an '87. I belive you have a cold start injector. Did you dump it?

Re: FMS 24#'s rule!!! (IBEAM700)
The only stock part of the engine is the intake - I've yet to mess with that. The bottom end however carries the AFR 190, ZZ-9 cam, bored .030, headers, missing cat, Borla mufflers, and a few other items. No stroker yet but will someday along with ASM and TPIS intake.
Right now I have the fuel pressure set at 38 psi, because of a rich problem I had before... I may set it lower to 35 since it still is a little rich.
