    Cylinder Balance Test... What does it all mean?

    I did a cylinder balance test today to see if the injectors I installed were ok. What is an acceptable percentage? If an injector is running 2% less efficient than another, is that bad (I'm assuming not)? Or is bad 20%? Here's a screen shot of one of the tests.

    If anyone can give me a bit of info, it would be greatly appreciated.

    TIA!

    You're fine.

    If all your numbers are close like that, its good.

    If you can take your numbers and apply them to a first grade math test with the question "Which number doesn't belong?", then there is a problem.

    I have a question and it falls under which number does not belong

    Cylinder 1 94%
    Cylinder 2 93%
    Cylinder 3 93%
    Cylinder 4 93%
    Cylinder 5 94%
    Cylinder 6 95%
    Cylinder 7 104% ??
    Cylinder 8 100%

    Cars has 2000 Camaro engine and does seem to be suffering from a bit of a miss at idle. Idle target speed was 800 rpm. Car seemed to start having issues after a dyno tune, and EFI Live was used to find out it could be from either of cylinder 7 or 8 (replaced driver's side rear spark plug wire and it seemed to help).

    Thanks in advance.
