    Well right... mine is an 05 so does that mean I am screwed with the easy access door?

    I suppose I could. I would need to take all of my subwoofers and crap out. I will probably just test the fuel pressure first before I go all crazy on it. I am not super smart on these cars anyway so where is the best spot and how do you check the fuel pressure. I hate messing with gas lines.

    If I am not mistaken theres a port on the FPR not sure tho I have honestly never looked for it

    Edit : I believe its called the fuel pump schrader valve test port and I lied its on the fuel rail . . . google is your friend

    Hey thinks for the links Grimsin! So what I got from that is I am about half way between stock and what I should be at. Tim at ZZP was kind of surprised I was running ZZP headers on a N/A car since the flow is insane from those things. That is probably what is causing my issues.

    still 1st link the guy got 38whp more with the exact same setup as you and thats without a tune. that second link shows a stock 3800 pulling the same whp as your modded one
    i got SD headers so I believe my primaries are smaller then yours, but I doubt the extra flow is maxing out your injectors or making you stutter/bog etc.

    Why do you suspect fuel pressure issues? Your afr was quite flat.

    I dont really suspect it myself but the owner of the tuning shop said it would just be something to check since my IDC hit 117%

    Your IDC theroeticly hit that number however you need to verify that their equipment is right. listen to what dh and snow said.


    I can also vouch that if you scan a 3800 with the LSx config it will read wrong. They need to readress and Dyno again.

    can the shop hook up a scope to one of the injectors and monitor the IPW when its on the dyno?
    look for it to "flatline high"
    which would indicate 100% IDC
    if they have a good digital logging scope, then they could actually find out the actual IPW at the injector.
