    HO engines do not run worth a crap with a 14# injector. Its also bad for the engine to run super lean.

      Final update, got car dialed in nicely, gave it back to engine builder friend and got scammed... Never got a dime for all this work....

        file a mechanic's lean on the car.

          I'm just a hobbyist, not a pro mechanic. Did this out of my home... Drew up no paperwork. I Have nothing, live and learn

                That's how we do in NJ.

                Too bad this had to be learned the hard way.

                  WTF. Nobody got paid? That's not cool at all.

                  I hope you guys still have the car and didn't give it back before getting cash. (So at least you still have something.)

                  Also, you could probably still sue the dude regardless. This thread alone is evidence that work was done.
