    did you update your injector flow rates after changing injectors?

    nevermind just looked at your file. Download the universal injector spreadsheet and input your new injector flow rates. This will give you the correct values to put in. I'll attach the spreadsheet, just click on the CobaltSS tab at the bottom, then enter what your injectors are rated at. It will give you the correct values to enter.

    You should be able to get awesome gas mileage with 60#s.

    Check your flows with this file.

    There's a bit of a difference...Does that flow rate save gas ??? If so I'll try it out

    The flow tables under the Fuel tab are pretty dead on for the 60#. Try that out by copy pasting that section to your tune and see if it helps.
