Trouble shooting

I installed some rebuilt rosewood stage 2 injectors, basically ad with 80% over nozzlesand there split shot. Rosewood told me the truck wouldn't run perfect unless it had a chip to tune them properly so I bought a hydra and had gearhead through some tunes on it. Installed the chip and the truck feels powerful but has a slight mis or something. Took the chip out and the truck runs better. Called gearhead and they need some live numbers on the truck while ldleing in order to adjust the tune. The problem is I don't have anyway to monitor the truck? Would torque pro give me enough? I already bought 2 cheap eBay obd2 Bluetooth adapters and they didn't work?

Torque pro will give you what you need. Some of us like this adapter
Amazon.com: ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX Bluetooth: Professional OBD-II Scan Tool for Android & Windows: Automotive Amazon.com: ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX Bluetooth: Professional OBD-II Scan Tool for Android & Windows: Automotive

because it is fast and reliable but there is a cheap one out there that works, someone recommended it on the Torque thread and I tried one on my grand daughter's Nissan and it did work fine. However I feel with the better quality one it can process information faster than the cheapo knockoffs.

I am not trying to pick nits; however, please verify for us whether the injectors are split shots or single shots....

The tunes will be different enough between the two that this could be the issue if you are trying to run singles on a split tune or vice versa.

Do you have a windows laptop? If so, ForScan is a free download and most of the parts stores here have a OBDII to USB connector/cable for about $15. You can find them on Amazon for about $10.

OK. Did you inform GH that they are split shots with 80% nozzles with very specific emphasis on those facts?
