I'm having some issues. At idle my car seems fine. All settings are close to what they should be besides the airflow per rev. But my car is a 2.4L with a lot of porting done to the head, 1mm o/s valves, after market intake, and 272 cams. Boostin had originally tuned my car before the new 1650cc injectors and they had my airflowperrev at about 45 at idle. Anyway, I have tried to go for a cruise multiple times and the car seems take shake and sputter every time I try to put any load on it. Once the car gets going it's fine, it's just the acceleration that acts crazy. I've watched my actual wideband gauge and it fluctuates between 13.5-15. So the fuel mixture seems to be where it needs to be for cruising, yet when I look at the log the afratioest seems to be 2-3 points lower than the wideband. I have run the auto SD tool to get some different numbers and it didn't seem to make any difference. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've had issues like you're explaining and it was my injectors needed cleaning and flowed, after that all was good. Mind you this was with high imp bosch 2200 which are notorious for rusting up when not picked properly, which I didn't do. Anyway I know you never mentioned if they sat around and if they're the new line with SS internals so they may be fine and this is strictly tune related. Check your fuel filter and pump sock also. Good luck
