Better shift with new injectors

Any buddy else get crisper shifts when the changed injectors. It makes no sense to me but they feel a lot quicker and firmer. There was more of a change when put the sticks in than my chip and shift kit did on the original injectors

seems like it. I thiink it keeps on building. Havn't gotten to drive it much since the install. Before it would take close to a 500rpm drop and lose most of boost when it shifted
