I have the stock 61 pounders in there, and if my math isn't wrong then my flow rate is 93.2.. (Old pressure 12, new pressure 28, old flow rate of injector 61 = new injector flow rate of 93).
    I think there are copys of my .bin floating around this site, I've shared it several times, I just don't have access to my .bin on this PC. Think all of my build specs are in my signature, except I'm running 305 injectors I had cleaned and flow tested @ 12 and 25 psi. Been to long ago to remember what they tested.

    The absolute first thing I do is make those tables match.

Increasing the injector flow will cause the computer to Lower the Injector Base Pulse Width, causing the injectors to spay less fuel.

    I consider the injector flow as a course adjustment, and the VE table as a fine adjustment.

    Injector flow is like apples / oranges / bananas

    What the injector is rated to flow.
    What the injector is actually flowing.
    What the injector parameter is in the .bin.

    More often than not, All Three are different!

    Well this couldn't be more true about apples to oranges to banannas. I ended up copying "Injector Offset VS Battery Voltage" and "BPW Multiplier VS Fuel Pump Voltage" from BMHK binary. I believe this bin was for a 454 that used the high pressure TBI system. Fast and RBob pointed me in that direction.

    Entering a Injector Flow Rate of 160 PPH gives me an idle pretty damn close to stoich, and this is without even touching the VE tables yet. That flow rate is nearly double what I had calculated so Dave is definitely right about the apples to oranges to bananas.

    Makes me wonder why my original calculations using that calculator on witchhunter were so far off. Perhaps it is because the Walbro 255 is just a slight bit overkill for this application? I had it laying around so I tossed it in there.

    I think the 7427 PCM I had in there previously was jacked, as I mentioned in another thread about the injectors pulsing even when the engine had been off for a while. Stabbed another 7427 in there tonight.

    I have been dialing in the min air rate as best I can right now and the thing is holding a good idle and rips clean pretty high in RPM in the garage for the first time since dropping in the marine high pressure regulator spring. It's idling around 14ish AFR. I ended up starting with another base copy of the 350 TBI 4L80 based tune I found and dumping in the injector parameters like mentioned above and upping the flow rate till it held a good idle.

    Thought I had a problem with the $0E fan code that I entered so I redid that also. Found out that the 20+ year old relay I stole from a Ford Explorer to control the Taurus fan finally rusted itself inoperable. (Confirmed by cutting the relay open).

    Thanks very much everyone.

    Hi, can you explain that?
    Is that an average of the integrator values for each VE cell

    Thanks

    I think what he is saying is he prefers to use the INT (short term trim) as it is a more recent reflection of fueling corrections vs the longer term fueling corrections that is BLM.

    I believe the INT is what your NBO2 is seeing right now whereas your BLM is averaged over time from the INT values.
