Looks good! Any chance you had some loose injector clips or something? Do the 2150s fit the stock plugs or do they have adapters? I had a bunch of issues when I got my 1680s but I had gotten them used and didn't have the latest adapters...FIC sent me new ones and no issues since.

So what about the coolant/oil mix you reported?

2150's are plug and play, no adapters. I am wondering if its something with the line from my fuel rail to my AFPR. It's a little bent/kinked now as it was too long since I switched fuel rails. It was setup for stock rail.

Indeed, long ass night last night. I am burnt out right now...way too late of a night. I did get Taco Bell on the way home that made me feel good :)
So what about the coolant/oil mix you reported?
It is just oil I think. I put a cardboard box under the car while at Knoxvilles (you can kinda see above) and it had maybe 10 drips on it after 6 hours. Oil level is still fine right now so its not significant.
I am heading to MAP friday morning to get it looked at and fixed.

I didn't work on the car at all tonight, too cold and can't drive it anywhere. I am hoping the roads are clear enough by mid morning, still going to try to head to MAP tomorrow morning.

The roads weren't too bad on my own way into work this morning so you should be good to go.

Roads are ok, Side roads/ off ramps / city streets are coated with ice and slick. Main roads are getting better, Id say make the trek now there's very little traffic out there.

Yes, with a trip to two different stores to get parts and helping out knoxville. It's a gay install.

Went to MAP today, was there a good 6-7 hours. They found my oil leak, it was my turbo return oil line, the oring ripped on the part into the block. Problem fixed now! No more oil leak.
We also did some fuel testing today. We pulled my fuel pressure gauge out further on a line and drove, still had pressure. So we strapped it on the dyno and jon VPN'ed in and we played some. The car was starting very hard, barely going. We actually had to put a jumper unit on it. The car fired up and ran great with that on, so we think i have a bad battery and actually think that might be affecting my tune/injectors with low voltage on them.
With the battery jumper connected during a pull we were finally able to get a "full" pull in (only out to like 7300 for starters, not full really). And I am liking what I am seeing. This is with like no tuning still haha.
More to come :) We couldn't start the pull any lower as down low fuel is really not coming in, MAP tables are still off. So this thing spools fast!

600whp+ at 20psi if I rev it out to my normal redline I think :)
