from the injector lines ive pulled it off four times trying to get them right just cant seem to do it, plus i tried turning the fuel up but it still feels lean as hell, now i dont really wanna roll coal but i know i should see alittle something from a dead stop up a hill and i get nothing. i turned it up 4 flats but i was thinkin maybe pensicola just turned it all the way down??? and after 2800 rpm the engine vibrates it did it with the old ip at 2000 or more so it atleast got better. i figure maybe timing needs to be set or its not getting anough fuel. im gonna try again working on it tomarow but if i cant get it right then its goin to the shop. thing is it didnt leak till the day after i first did the ip

Same thing with the leak happend to me. Is it from the hard lines? Or the the middle of the injector, where the return lines run?
