    Cylinder #2 flooded

    Okay that's good, I highly recommend that you find a good Ecu to manage all that fuel and air your going to cram into the engine. Right now I've got a Jim wolf 3d standalone ecu and it's great because it has good tubing capabilities and also on the Ecu itself has lights and tells you that...

    Cylinder #2 flooded

    Did a bunch of tests. The signal was grounding out the injector at cylinder #2, it was causing the injector to stay open and flood the cylinder#2. My tuner and i plugged up a different ecu (wolf standalone) and the injector @ cylinder #2 didn't flood, it turns out the injector driver most likely...
