Next job is uprate the injectors. 400$ is a lot of money but it's gonna be worth it. hope to order them on Friday
After that its rods and oem rings. full gasket kit (OEM) and ACL bearings.
Aim is safe 250whp tune which i think is realistic for a daily.

Lift the WG actuator rod off of the arm and make sure the flapper is completely seated if you haven't already. It's ok to have a little preload on the actuator rod when it goes over the flapper arm stud.

I read that some people have had issues with the 255 causing rich idle and cruise. All seems well so far! Ill probably invest in an adjustable fpr as a precaution.
I picked up my cops yesterday as well and im waiting on the laser cut plate to fit them. I also need a loom off a yaris or avensis or some other toyota.
Anyway. I thought the "missfire" was down to the fuel pump letting go, but the issue is still there.
Anyone have any thoughts on it? The log is in a few posts back and its still happening..
I thought it was the boost cut but Its not boost cut i know that

What i've done to try and diagnose it is copy my ignition and fuel tables into a totally new msq. Ill run a log on the way to work and post it here.

So far i've copied my fuel and spark tables into a fresh msq to see if it was any other setting that i changed by mistake. no difference at all.
I've attached a new log from today. one log was a pull in 3rd gear and the other log is a pull in 3rd plus a shift into 4th and 5th.
The tune file is also attached.
