Hmm, if you have an 87 harness/ECU, did you splice in the MAF, or are you running speed density? What code is your ECU?
I hear you on the FiTech, I have a 400 hp setup in my basement. I was holding it for a future project, but this one is really pissing me off.

That explains a lot, speed density is much less forgiving of any changes, and the ECU is not as good for helping diagnose from what I have read. Lots of good info on stangnet.com regarding ecu issues.

Updat on my issues. Installed the OEM 19lb injectors with matching OEM MAF. Surprise, it started right up and idles great. Blipped the gas, perfect response. Then got out of the car and realized one of the injectors was leaking and dumping gas everywhere. Looks like the problem is my MAF. Searched and found a 93 Cobra ECU with matching 70mm MAF tuned for 24 lb injectors, snatched it up. Reinstalled the 24s, waiting to get the new MAF and ECU. Hoping this issue will now be behind me.

Lol, fixed it. Going with 24s, as projected output with my heads/cam/intake is more than 19s can support. Should be in the 330-350 hp range.

For some reason, I could never get my "F-cammed", Twisted Wedge headed, GT40 intaked, 24 LB injected, 70mm throttle bodied Mustang to run correctly using all brand new 93 Cobra ECU and MAF meter. It ran MUCH better with a stock 1989 ECU and a 76mm C&L MAF meter (which uses the stock MAF electronics) fitted with the proper sized 24 LB sampling tube. This combo even worked well with 8psi of Paxton boost. This was back before anyone was doing custom tuning and everything was "bolt-on".https://www.americanmuscle.com/cnl-76maf-8693gt.html

Ugh, not what I want to hear. Well, already ordered the Cobra parts, i’ll give it a shot. Kinda funny, many say to stay away from C&L. All seems hit or miss. Update to come once parts are in.

Wohoo! Very happy guy here. Installed the Cobra ECU and MAF, fired right up and ran smooth. No more stinky exhaust. Let her get good and warm then ran KOER test, no more 41 and 91. I do now have 44 and 94 (thermactor and air diverter), but that is not surprising as I don’t have any of the smog stuff installed. Also pulled code 13, idle low, so i’ll have to bump that up a bit. Very happy at the moment, BIG issue off the list.

Frickin amazing.
Code 13 could be a vac leak. If no leaks and base idle reset then probably IAC, but those are cheap. I'm betting resetting the base idle will ****** that one anyways
Congrats.
