the story goes like this i took my friend for a ride and i gave him a 2nd-3rd gear pull and when i was done my car was running like crap.. come to find out i check the plugs and #2 plug was shut. so then i pull the valve cover off and find 1 of my rocker arm's popped off so i reseated it and now its fine. i did a compression test and all is good. now the problem in fuel it seems to me that my injectors are just dumping a crap load of fuel into my car... right now i have DSM 450cc injectors cartech adj FMU,and SAFC.
uh, so maybe, just maybe, get it tuned CORRECTLY and you won't have so many problems? Just a thought...

It's just another example of the use of incorrect terminology on this site.

its funny.. my car was dyno tuned for 6 psi then me and jazz"suncavi" up the boost to 10psi and tuned it to my wide band. and we both thought it was good to go....

and yes 1 of my roller rocker arms fell off
so you say that it seems the injectors are dumping a lot of fuel, but at the same time say you have a wideband and that its tuned fine? which is it? are the injectors new? If you ust grabbed used injectors out of a decade-old dsm, then i'd look at having them cleaned or getting newer replacements.
and the only time i've ever heard of an eco roller-follower (technically its not called a rocker arm) was when QBE's roomate downshifted to the wrong gear and mechanically overrevved it...

Yikes.
Bro you said you have a wideband 02 - use it... or were you borrowing one?
Seriously it seems you have a real lack of tuning - we can't desktop tune for you.... more than likely the injectors are too big for how you have things setup.

didn't your 2.4 have a lot of issues getting to idle anything larger the 36# injectors... (brown tops)...... because if the 370cc (or whatever the brown tops are) injectors are already pretty large.... 450cc injectors would be overkill and result in massive fuel dumping....
tune it properly.... and the problems will go away....

You are incorrect. It wasn't that hard idling the brown tops once I figured out the math behind them and did what had to be done to get them down to stock lb/hr at idle.

Ok Austin, let me tell you one thing.
I have been boosted for how long?? and am I sick of it, no! I told you before I charged your car that it will be a lot of maintenance and headaches.
Seems like every time you have a problem you give me a call on the phone and try to get me to diagnose the car over the phone which is hard for me to do.
I NEVER once had problems with the 450's and I am running 580's right now and NOT having any problems at all.
Tomorrow I am getting DSM 650's which are rated at 43 psi and I am gonna run them at 50 psi idle where they will be 700 cc injectors on idle!!
I am not gonna have problems.
I figure ish out.
I am pretty sure if you get your lazy ssa to St Pete (only 30 miles) I can get your car figured out as well.
We tuned it on the dyno on 6 psi, and wideband (Innovative) for 10 psi and it was fine, and what did you proceede to do!? Mess with the FMU and might have messed up the settings.
If you wanna give up more power to you man, then I will not have ANY competition whatsoever, sounds good to me.
I will be the one and only !!! THE FASTEST CAVY around here FOREEEEEEVAAAHH!!
JK
You wanna buy my 580's I am not gonna need them now?? lol
rockers------ and then roller rockers on the top, what were the 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8??? lol
They might have been solid ones with Jugernaut cam.
