Which injectors? I can send you the base file Matt sent me if you have HP Tuners. You can copy the fuel injector data over. That's about all you need to get it started with the larger injectors.
I do have Hp tuners, but don't have any experience using it yet, other than copying my OEM file and sending it to matt. He emailed asking if I was going to run the stock MAP or the ZR1 MAP. I replied the ZR1 and he hasn't got back with me.

If you could help me out with that, it would be greatly appreciated.
The injectors are the ones that came with the basic kit.

How low do I need to keep my RPMs until I get the tune, injectors and Bap taken care of?

Remove it. Catch can will connect where it used to connect to the valve cover (or hose will go from valve cover to air filter for clean air in, I can't remember which, but I know the stock plastic hose needs to go)

Too much of a pain in the a$$ to do that at this point. Im gonna run it and see what happens. I bought a laser belt alignment tool before doing this. after adjusting the tensioner, everything is lining up well.

You have the same one as me. I've been running it for a year no problem... It should be fine--just won't work if you ever want to go 8 rib. It's fine for 6 rib and still better than the stock one
