Default Bosch GreenGiants... Do people run into misfiring @ idle frequently?

I have VAST fueling. I just keep having misfiring issues. I tried upping my idle torque load with UniSettings and it only made it worse, they were racking up quicker! This ONLY happens @ idle. Not while I'm driving. Any ideas?

Did you try decreasing the idle torque? You were having misfires even before going stage 3 IIRC, no?

Default are the electrical connectors facing the fendors?

Green giants need to be rotated 90 degrees when installed. They should be installed in factory orientation.

Default Well yeah Jordan, but we had thought to ruled it out to the 5 Bar

I mean the idle is much smoother but its misfiring. Its weird. I dont feel it as much as i did with 3- and the 5 bar, but they are there dammit! I will try DEcreasing the idle load tomorrow afternoon! Ill either post here or let you know via email thanks man

Default well at first they werent, and I cranked them except 2 and 6, i couldnt get them to turn!

I would say 2 and 6 are 45* but the others are a good ol 90... Should my main goal be getting those 2 injectors to turn? I just cant seem to do it! Mike @ VAST told me i didnt have to un-do anything, i ended up taking off my y pipe to get to them nicer, but i still couldnt turn those 2. bastards

Default No issues here... with injectors rotated 90 degrees (except #6 IIRC which is as close as I

could get).
